I hate to comment at this late stage, especially on something that I
think is really a great idea (I did similar more complex, sys_blkalloc
with even more arguments time ago --- I'm glad given how complex this
thread has become I didn't post them now).
In the past there wasn't that much incentive

e.g.
asmlinkage long sys_fallocate(int fd, loff_t offset, loff_t len, int mode)
would work even on s390 ;)

Based on the suggestions received, I have added a new parameter to the
sys_fallocate() system call - an interger called mode, just after the
fd. Now the system call looks like this:
