In fact, I suspect for many if not most of the FUSE filesystems, the
all-purpose "generic_file_checkpoint()" would be sufficient. 

The only problem with doing that by default, is that it break silently
when used with those few that need more; i.e. checkpoint will work but
restart may not succeed later.
