TBH, I'm inclined not to care about this edge-case. It's already
complicated enough for user-space to figure out what's the right thing
to do when supporting both implicit modifiers and explicit modifiers.
Using modifiers without IN_FORMATS is risky, since a whole part of the
modifier negotiation mechanism is missing.

Maybe we can just stick a "since kernel x.y.z" in here to address your
concern.
