I write a little patch that enable read write access
to msdos filesystem flags ( hidden ,system,archived).
I think it s a good idea but I need your opinion.

+
- PAX system will restore ( save) this attr.
- enable access to filesystem spec without ugly
iotcl (like ext2)
-universal userspace access

-

- kernel grow
- user don't need this.

I don't write this to FAT maintener because I think it
s more general ( for instance in ext2fs for immutable
flag)

Thanks

PS : -I wrote first an incomplete mail send by error,
sorry for this mess.
-I release my patch next , after some test
