I think the best answer is for the kernel to track whether
uid,gid,fmask,dmask options were specified, and if so, to ignore the
permission info sent by the CAP_UNIX-enabled server.

That may require changes to the ioctl interface, though; I'd have to check
again whether there's any distinction between not setting the option, and
setting the option to 0.
