FUSE_CREATE could be decomposed to FUSE_MKOBJ_H + FUSE_STATX + FUSE_OPEN.

FUSE_TMPFILE is special, the create and open needs to be atomic.   So
the best we can do is FUSE_TMPFILE_H + FUSE_STATX.

I was never satisfied with FUSE_READDIRPLUS, I'd prefer something more
flexible, where policy is moved from the kernel to the fuse server.

How about a push style interface with FUSE_NOTIFY_ENTRY setting up the
dentry and the inode?

Thanks,
