I think that most of the FS_IOC_GETFLAGS flags are sufficiently specialised that they aren't something the ordinary user would necessarily find to be of interest, so I'm not sure that mapping all of them to STATX_INFO_* flags is necessary. That said, I think STATX_INFO_ENCRYPTED *is* usefully deployed here to tell the user that the file or directory is encrypted and that the user will have to unlock or provide a key to access it. I'm also thinking that a STATX_INFO_NEED_AUTHENTICATION flag may be needed to indicate that the user must authenticate in some way (probably only applicable to network files) to be able to access the file.
