This series implements the mkdirat_fd() syscall that was suggested over
at the UAPI group kernel feature page [1] with some tests.
Obviously, if we want this we should also implement mknodeat_fd() and
symlinkat_fd(), but their implementation can be done quite similar I
believe.
I have added an unigned int flags like [2] suggests and an example flag
that we may want to remove (it right now mainly serves an internal
purpose). But it marks where I would want to place the definitions.
This has been compiled and tested on x86 only. [2] is a bit confusing
here and there, so I hope I have added the proper syscall definitions
everywhere where they needs to be added.
