im fine with C, its just finding my way around the XFS source is quite
a challenge, unless your familier with its internals its quite easy to
get lost.

i believe the right place for them is the di_flags, defined in
xfs_dinode.h (at the bottom).

basically as i understand it you need check for these bits in the xfs
diflags and fill the VFS inode flags, the VFS defines bits for
immutable/append-only in a generic way, all XFS needs to do is
inform the VFS that an inode is immutable, it will handle all the
enforcment.
