It compiles cleanly and loads on Alpha. I'm happy...

Hmmm.... That sort of defeats the purpose of the message and we
do have msdosfs (not that it has the support yet). The intend is
that people get annoyed enough to actually implement missing
functionality...

If you keep it, please rename LINUX_VFAT_READDIR_BOTH to
LINUX_VFAT_IOCTL_READDIR_BOTH to match the name used in the
Linux sources (better cross reference).
