- Adding new Fcntl's to file systems doesn't require any kernel changes,
- since the kernel will pass Fcntl opcodes that it doesn't understand
- on to the file system. (Of course, getting the default file systems
- to understand the Fcntl will require kernel changes; but that can be
- handled in the library by having the library do an Fdatime() if the
- Fcntl fails.)
