You can pick these up, I don't have plans for more patches right now
(unless we hit some new bugs that affect our workloads).

(FWIW there do lurk dragons there, at least 1) setxattr() with zero-
length value turns into a removexattr(), and 2) creat("foo", 0444)
fails due to the R/O perms when opening the writeback_fid. Fixes to
either didn't seem too easy...)

Thanks!
