If you are going to add a flags field it needs to be atomic as otherwise
changing or reading individual flags won't be safe without a lock.

We can't do this.

It is wrong to mix permissions and flags to request functionality.

That way lies madness, and impossible maintenance, and it will silently
break every application that expects setgroups to work if they have
CAP_SETGID after a mapping has been established.
