If you (or anyone) gave a real life example of an application relying
on e.g. ioctl(..., FS_IOC_SETFLAGS) returning ENOSYS, then I would
have no choice but to revert this change.

However I think that's highly unlikely given that such an application
would only have been tested on fuse filesystems and also given that
very few (if any) fuse filesystems support these ioctls in the first
place.

Thanks,
Miklos
