fanotify is a novel file notification system which bases notification on
giving userspace both an event type (open, close, read, write) and an open
file descriptor to the object in question. This should address a number of
races and problems with other notification systems like inotify and dnotify
and should allow the future implementation of blocking or access controlled
notification. These are useful for on access scanners or hierachical storage
management schemes.
This patch just implements the basics of the fsnotify functions.
