I think it'd be much neater to do the conversion of AT_ flags here and
pass 0 as a flags argument for all of the wrappers (this is how most of
the other xyz(), fxyz(), fxyzat() syscall wrappers are done IIRC).

We almost certainly want to support AT_EMPTY_PATH at the same time.
Otherwise userspace will still need to go through /proc when trying to
chmod a file handle they have.
