Should there be a man page update as well? Other commands from open.c
have a corresponding man section, but:
$ grep -c chmod man/man8/xfs_io.8
0

And I wonder if the two permissions (0444 and 0664) are enough, or we
might want to add other modes as well. But maybe that can be added
when the need comes... Otherwise it looks good.
