(13) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value.  These could be translated to BSD's st_flags.
     Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4
     define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel
     may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too).

And we now also have FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR that extends the flags
and information userspace can get from filesystems.

Btw, can you point me at the manpage that defines the fsxattr struct and its
flags?

Also, ioctl_list(2) should probably include FS_IOC_FS[GS]ETXATTR.
