[PATCH] libc-compat.h for <bits/fcntl-linux.h>

Hello everyone,
  I've been doing some kernel hacking and added some new flags to the
Linux kernel. I want to use these flags in userland without having to in
an additional header (<asm-generic/fcntl.h>) and even then, there are
conflicts, because almost everything is already defined.

  As such, I filed a feature request (20050) and was informed about
about the process to have compatibility.

  I've attached a patch that shouldn't break anything. Incidentally,
everything in the Linux Kernel matches what is done by glibc.

  If I need to provide any more information, then please let me know.

Regards,
Eric Neblock
