Nope, if I understand it correctly, the semantic of S_IFXDEV bit is exactly opposite. If the bit is set, we need to call stat again after opening a directory. But if it's not set and we don't know if the kernel provides this feature, we can't use the optimization and need to call stat anyway. Or am I wrong?
