From: Miklos Szeredi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Add a new attribute flag ATTR_OPEN, with the meaning: "truncation was
initiated by open() due to the O_TRUNC flag".
This way filesystems wanting to implement truncation within their
->open() method can ignore such truncate requests.
This is a quick & dirty hack, but it comes for free.
