I don't think I saw an answer to this question (but the discussions of
the mail thread have really sprawled a bit and so it's hard to review
all of the messages in the thread) --- so.... what's your reason for
creating this new fsx_xflags2 field as opposed to just defining new
flags bits for fsx_xflags field?  There are plenty of unused bits in
the FS_XFLAG_* space.
