I don't think so.  As discussed,
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=122735413932519), you already can
differentiate I/O made by local users, so you don't need to modify inotify.

This change violates my first rule of programming: If there's two or
more ways of solving a problem, pick one; don't pick them all.
