Looking at the calls to VOP_CLOSE, there's either a flags variable, or
the fmode variable I mentioned before, being passed as the second
parameter. I haven't checked where this comes from in all cases, but
when vn_closefile gets called, the value of this parameter is
fp->f_flag. Similarly, when an open cannot be completed, the value is
fmode.

In other words, it looks like the flags are already there.
