I think that the Solaris *at functions were really primarily intended for use with O_XATTR to get at "file attribute" magic pseudo-directories rather than to optimize use of normal directories and files. Probably mkdirat doesn't make sense in Solaris attribute pseudo-directories. But mkdirat is as useful in general as any of those *at additions, so I'd say we might as well have it.
