[PATCH] fuse: reserve byteswapped init opcodes

[PATCH] fuse: reserve byteswapped init opcodes

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

virtio fs tunnels fuse over a virtio channel.  One issue is two sides
might be speaking different endian-ness. To detects this,
host side looks at the opcode value in the FUSE_INIT command.
Works fine at the moment but might fail if a future version
of fuse will use such an opcode for initialization.
Let's reserve this opcode so we remember and don't do this.

Same for CUSE_INIT.

I think in theory that works even for normal fuse.

FUSE_INIT << 24 probably works?
