I thunk the multiplexer is just fine. We don't really need Q_SYNC
for a new syscall. For XFS vs classic VFS quota we probably don't
need to duplicate the two data structure, but we need to make sure we
catch the superset of the information if we want to disable the old
ones.
So I suspect just supporting evrything excpt for the global Q_SYNC
and reusing do_quotactl as-is is the most maintainable and easiest
to understand way forward.
