But they _are_ in the same namespace as the VFS ones. This needs to be sorted out by real by understanding what's going on here and either separating this flags out and passing them in a separate argument, or moving them to include/linux/fs.h so it's obvious for anyone adding new flags that they must not collide. In that later case it might make sense to add add a NFSD in the name, although MAY_NFSD_* makes more sense to keep a unique prefix.
