Yeah, not that ATTR_NO_BLOCK doesn't actually exist in any tree I have
access to, and thus it's not actually handled in the new xfs_setattr.

Probably. Note that linux uses the ATTR_ flags only for ->setattr so
there are per defintion none that can't be set.

It's an IRIX leftover. I will submit a patch to introduce something
similar to Linux for 2.6.27, that's why I'd like these patches in for
2.6.26 so that I have a clean base to start from.
