altered in the same area.

Subject: [PATCH] Add an AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress terminal automount

Add an AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress terminal automounting of directories
with follow_link semantics.  This can be used by fstatat() users to permit the
gathering of attributes on an automount point and also prevent
mass-automounting of a directory of automount points by ls.
