The kernel interface in Kyle's first patch has a place for flags but
doesn't actually define any yet.  As I worked on the userspace
portions I decided that it made sense to expose those three that are
in userspace.  We'll have to add them to the kernel interface as well
since there's no way currently to translate in odp-util.c, which is
what those XXX comments refer to.
