[RFC][PATCH 3/8] create fs flags to mark c/r supported fs's

[Dave Hansen]

There are plenty of filesystems that are not supported for
c/r at this point.  Think of things like hugetlbfs which
are externally visible or pipefs which are kernel-internal.

This provides a quick way to mark the filesystems as they
get supported.  We won't mark wery many filesystems
explicitly for now.  That's because we will assume that
FS_REQUIRES_DEV implies FS_CHECKPOINTABLE for now.  This
assumption may need to get overridden in the future, but
it should be OK for now.
