We've done that exact type of change before - see commit 1ff2b6f.

I've pushed 1-5, and am slowly working on rebasing the remaining patches
to deal with Matthias' observation about read-only connections (my
debugging session proved that we _do_ pass a flag to all the driver open
functions).
There might be problems like that with other functions you touched
too. I only picked that one as an example.
For example, I know that the flags handling is quite broken in the ESX
driver due to the undefined semantics of several functions at the time
I wrote the driver.
