Peter, Dario,

This is a little late in the day, but I think it's an important point
to just check before this API goes final.

So, I that there's a flags field in the structure, which allows for
some extensibility for these calls in the future. However, is it
worthwhile to consider adding a 'flags' argument in the base signature
of either of these calls, to allow for some possible extensions in the
future. (See http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/585415/7b905c0248a158a2/ ).

Cheers,

Michael
