I think your patches are against an older revision.

I don't think so. It means that no one can watch for open/close/access
events, because the flags from the caller are ignored when invoking the
library function (except for IN_DONT_FOLLOW, which in my understanding
does not change the underlying watch).

See above, I guess.

We could do that.
