Please, make it a union! Every filesystem has a few odd features.
The kernel itself has a union in the inode data. The system call
needs that too.
Actually, the whole idea behind the chflags() interface is that it
*isn't* an ext2-specific function. This interface would also be used to
set the R/O and System flags on FAT filesystems, for example.
I'm not at all convinced that the stat structure is the right place to
add filesystem-specific unions.
