Yes, it is called "xstat" and is an extensible version of stat which even
includes a 'query' bitmap to list which things you want.
Unfortunately it never made it to mainline. We should submit a patch to
systemd to get it to use xstat instead of name_to_handle_at. That would
ensure that the kernel implemented it double-quick :-)
