I would prefer returning an error if flags is set to a non-zero value,
to catch userspace errors early, but I'm also worried it would break
existing userspace by uncovering existing bugs. Still, if we later add
flags that userspace can set, those existing bugs will be triggered, so
we'll have to deal with them anyway, and we could already give it a try.
The patch otherwise looks good to me.
