User space people want the file name case insensitivity.  I guess the
old files are likely to be selected from a list on an embedded device.
However case insensitivity is a desirable feature when adding new file
names.

My primary concern was to estimate the cost or pain of implementing
file name case insensitivity and find arguments against doing it in
the kernel.
