We should make it clear that this is a default, and not something
a filesystem must use, just something a filesystem may use.

I'm not convinced either of those methods makes sense.

We should be able to just use the existing inode->i_op->getattr.
Especially as that method will have to be updated anyway..

???  Capable should be with respect to a user namespace not with
respect to a filesystem.
