I find this functionality controversial, because think that the fs provided
s_last_error*, s_first_error* is more reliable and more powerful than this
functionality.

Let's leave it for a future extending proposal, should fanotify event reporting
proposal pass muster, shall we?
Or do you think that without this optional extension fanotify event reporting
will not be valuable enough?
