Would it be possible to move these to a new UAPI header?

In glibc, we currently do not #include <linux/fcntl.h>.  We need some of
the AT_* constants in POSIX mode, and the header is not necessarily
namespace-clean.  If there was a separate header for openat2 support, we
could use that easily, and we would only have to maintain the baseline
definitions (which never change).

Thanks,
Florian
