These are very old options.
Since Unionfs created 'diropq' unconditionally in mkdir(2), old users
may expect the same behaviour. But there are cases where 'diropq' is
unnecessary. The aufs default behaviour is to create 'diropq' only when
it is necessary.

This new function au_aopen_or_create() tries calling branch fs's
->atomic_open() first. If it is not set, call vfs_create() instead.
By putting this behaviour into aufs's add_simple(), many codes can be
shared.

Implement i_op->link().
As aufs supports 'pseudo-link', aufs_link() can make it without
copying-up. In the case of aufs_link() has to copy-up, the name of the
target file is used as-is, and it is pseudo-linked. In other words,
calling link(2) after the copy-up is unnecessary.

Here are entry adding inode operations, i_op->create(), symlink(),
mkdir(), mknod(), and tmpfile().
Obviously they return EOPNOTSUPP when the target branch fs doesn't
support the operation.
