How much does this shrink things in the end?

This seems unnecessary.: when there are no xattr syscalls,
xattr_full_name shouldn't be called anymore.

As with xattr_full_name, please configure out the code calling those
shims instead.

Shouldn't this be an implied config that the various filesystems
select when needed?

(The xattr code in kernfs is unconditional right now, but that's not
so hard to change.)
