What specific attributes do you want to set with
FilePosixInformation ?

The file mode (rwxrwxrwx) is set by a normal
SetNTACL request with a specially formatted
ACL.

I can't think of anything else POSIX-specific that
can't be set with a standard SMB3 setinfo
the same way it's set on a Windows handle.

I don't think we need SetFilePosixInformation
at all.
