Hi Luis,

"setxattr_v2" kind of makes more sense to me because it is disabled
by default untile and unless client opts in. If I use no_setxattr_v2,
then it means by default I will have to initialize it to 1. Right
now, following automatically takes care of it.

fc = kzalloc(sizeof(struct fuse_conn), GFP_KERNEL);

Also, there are other examples which don't use "no_" prefix.

auto_inval_data, explicit_inval_data, do_readdirplus, readdirplus_auto, 
async_dio..... and list goes on.
