Correct. Calling setxattr on the property wouldn't call
xfs_set_max_atomic_write_opt to change the operational limit, and I
don't want to start up the whole magic xattrs discussion again by making
xfs_xattr_set do extra things if name=="trusted.xfs:max_atomic_write".

(Though iirc you were the most opposed to magic xattrs, and my
opposition is 45% yuck factor and 55% "hch will nak it anyway" ;) )
