[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] osdep: Less restrictive F_SEFL in qemu_dup_flags()

[Corey Bryant]

qemu_dup_flags() currently limits the flags that can be set on the
fcntl() F_SETFL call to those that we currently know can be set with
fcntl() F_SETFL.  The problem with this is that it will prevent use
of new flags in the future without a code update.

This patch relaxes the checking and lets fcntl() determine the flags
it can set.
