And ACK from Christian would be good.

I don't see why this would be a radical change: idmapping changes the
meaning of fsuid/fsgid, so we now can't send those to the server in
the non-create case. The only thing that changes is that an "invalid
ID" value is introduced into the protocol. Probably makes sense to
explicitly define this valiue in <uapi/linux/fuse.h>.

Thanks,
Miklos
