#2975: [PATCH] Allow attachment saving on the FreeBSD's msdosfs

Comment (by rea):

 Replying to [comment:1 pdmef]:
 > My <sys/errno.h> (OS X) conditionally defines EOPNOTSUPP as ENOTSUP and
 comments on EOPNOTSUPP as being socket-related. Therefore, I think using
 ENOTSUP should be used (they're identical on FreeBSD too).

 The problem is that msdosfs's code has the following stub for the 'link'
 vnop:
 -----
 /*
  * DOS filesystems don't know what links are.
  */
 static int
 msdosfs_link(ap)
         struct vop_link_args /* {
                 struct vnode *a_tdvp;
                 struct vnode *a_vp;
                 struct componentname *a_cnp;
         } */ *ap;
 {
         return (EOPNOTSUPP);
 }
 -----
 And yes, not EOPNOTSUPP and ENOTSUP are identical in FreeBSD, so either
 would work.
 I am tempted to add a check for both of them: ENOTSUP semantically closer
 to the meaning of the error, but there can be systems that have ENOTSUP !=
 EOPNOTSUPP, but returning EOPNOTSUPP like FreeBSD does.

 There is a discuission about two codes:
 http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0208.0/0121.html
 http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-hacker/1999-01/msg00313.html
 And it seems to me that the check for both of them will not harm anything.
