a quick hack would be to extend the get_file_info request to add to the
flags field the high WORD from inner file object

(the low word contains the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_??? flags and we should get the bits
from the stat operation)

however, it would add a stat to the file for every call which is not what
you want in all cases
