Comment (by pdziepak):
I don't see any problems here. If the filesystem supports d_type then
everyone is happy and the application after one syscall gets types of
multiple files. If d_type is not supported DT_UNKNOWN is returned and app
has to call stat for all files it is interested in, exactly like it has to
do now. What's wrong with that?
The only real obstacle to adding this filed is, as Axel said, binary
compatibility.
