[PATCH] Separate FMODE_PREAD/FMODE_PWRITE into separate flags

From: Paul Turner
Date: Wed Feb 04 2009 - 21:07:34 EST


Separate FMODE_PREAD and FMODE_PWRITE into separate flags to reflect the
reality that the read and write paths may have independent restrictions.

A git grep verifies that these flags are always cleared together so this new
behavior will only apply to interfaces that change to clear flags individually.
