OK, so this shows that my cross-compiler test scripts are faulty lately,
sorry I missed this.
But more importantly, the above missed case is an example of when "write" really
means "write", as opposed to meaning flags.
Please put this patch on hold or drop it, until we hear from the authors as to how
they would like to resolve this. I suspect it will end up as something like:
bool write = (flags & FOLL_WRITE);
...perhaps?
thanks,
