That's fun :)

Ideally, the work should be upstreamed.

Some of it seems would probably rather consist in improving libfuse-hurd
(e.g. the argument functions)

Another part is disabling the use of F_SETLK, I'm surprised by this,
since it is supposed to be supported already.

Whenever the work is upstreamed, that will water down into distributions
;)
