Would you prefer 0xFFFFFFFF, or 0xFF (assuming it somehow needs to be
compatible with the shifted revision mask), or even 0xFFFFFF00 to avoid
using those 8 bits?

As far as I know, only one bit of the original 24 magic_etc flag bits is
used and that is for the fE (file Effective) bit.

I wondered that myself... struct audit_cap_data is also used in
audit_context.capset where it has no need of the version since it is
storing process caps (and the effective field is a union with fE) and in
audit_context.aux where it is chained in as audit_aux_data_bprm_fcaps
with three instances of audit_cap_data but only one version.

We could just keep fcap_ver and fE in the original magic_etc and use
a high order bit of the VFS_CAP_FLAGS_MASK...

Is it worth changing?
