 Humm, I seem to be missing something.  The flags are passed to the
glibc function __dir_mkfile which makes an RPC dir_mkfile call to
the proper translator.  In the case of lib diskfs/dir-mkfile.c the
flags are untouched until line 70: 

  flags &= (O_READ | O_WRITE | O_EXEC);

Then the flags are passed to diskfs_make_peropen.

  flags &= (O_READ | O_WRITE | O_EXEC);
should removed all options that are turned on but O_READ, O_WRITE,
and O_EXEC right?
