Shouldn't this be checking that ctx->buffer is large enough to hold
s_volume_name?
Well, the buffer is guaranteed to be 4KiB in size.
Ah, ok.

s_volume_name is /not/ a null-terminated string if the label is 16
characters long.
And the buffer is precleared, so it's automatically NULL terminated.

I guess each filesystem gets ... 256 different attrs, and the third
nibble determines the namespace?
No.  Think of it as allocating namespace in 256-number blocks.  That means
there are 16 million of them.  If a filesystem uses up an entire block, it can
always allocate another one.  I don't think it likely that we'll get
sufficient filesystems to eat them all.
Ah.  In that case I declare that we would like to reserve 0x5800-0x58FF
for XFS. :)
