> 4. Up to 4 Gbytes of data per xattr value.
> 5. Inline and out-of-line xattr values supported for higher performance
>     in xattr scanning (listxattr & getxattr), and to allow xattr value
>     de-duplication.
> 6. Both whole inode xattr duplicate detection and individual xattr value
>     duplicate detection supported.  These can obviously nest, file C's
>     xattrs can be a complete duplicate of file B, and file B's xattrs
>     can be a partial duplicate of file A.
> 7. Xattr name prefix types stored, allowing the redundant "user.", "trusted."
>     etc. characters to be eliminated and more concisely stored.
> 8. Support for files, directories, device nodes and symbolic links.
