I raised this point before but I'm worried about directly exposing
kernel memory through xattr interface to userland. Maybe it's okay as
long as !root users are kept from creating them. I don't know. I
really hope it used anonymous page cache instead of kmem tho. Hugh,
would something like that be difficult?
Thanks.
