Ugh.  I think it's a requirement; without it:

	- if we set the flag that allows the client to turn off
	  sillyrename, then users will see a regression (ESTALE after
	  clean shutdowns in situations we previously guaranteed safe).

	- if we don't set that flag, we don't get to turn off client
	  sillyrename.  The only improvement is that we avoid ESTALE
	  after crashes on files unlinked by a different client than
	  held it open.  I don't think that's very interesting on its
	  own.

--b.
