At that level we'd need to do it for every xattr, even those that were
never be accessed, which would be slow indeed.

But we really only need to check the inode cache: hey, icache, I am
dying, and if you have any of my guys (xattrs), I want them to die with
me. 

So the question is how to find our guys in the inode cache. I am not
sure. Probably be we'd have to have our own list of cached inodes in
the host inode, and maintain it.
