I suggested if this can wait.
on the 2nd thought, I am preparing to conduct a survey to know most 
preferred sysfs layout for btrfs.
  mainly between
  one, less invasive overlays on the existing layout (current method).
  the other, separates FS and Volume attributes (old method).

  sorry that I am going back a bit, but i think its worth as these API 
are forever.

thanks, Anand
