You can't add permissions by umask/fmask/dmask. I have one DVD with top
level dir permissions set to 0000 and there's no way to read it now (as
an user) and adding mask options wouldn't change it.

I should mention in a changelog that the names and semantics of these
options are copied from isofs.

I can create a second patch which adds mask options but I think modes are
needed too. What do you think?
