I am mirroring the semantics of open(2) and openat(2).

To be clear, I am in favour of doing it -- and it would definitely be
possible to implement it with -EINVAL (you would just mask off
~VALID_OPEN_FLAGS for the older syscalls). But Linus' response to my
point about (the lack of) -EINVAL for unknown open(2) flags gave me the
impression he would be against this idea (though I might be
misunderstanding the point he was making).
