Please read the spec a little closer:  "File Entry" as defined in 4/14.9
applies to "File Types" 0, and 4-10.  Following the spec back to
4/14.6.6, you discover that file type #4 is a directory, and #5 is a
generic file.  Types #6 through #10 are other well-understood *nixy
items.

In any case, note #27, which immediately follows the permissions
description in 4/14.9.5, clearly leaves discretion in the hands of the
implementor, even to not implementing these at all.  Its hardly
surprising that linux implements these permissions as is traditional.

In any case, the new dmode mount option in 2.6.30 (noted above) is a
working solution, if you're willing to try an rc kernel.  Or apply the
patches to 2.6.29.
