It is possible to disable dir-local variables by setting
`enable-local-variables' to nil.  However, this will also disable
file-local variables.

Perhaps we should add a similar variable `enable-dir-local-variables'
that will disable only dir-local variables.  It could also have an option
`remote' to disable searching upwards in remote filesystems.  (This option
could behave like the variable `dir-locals-chase-remote' in the package
`dir-locals.el').
