Thanks.  FWIW, if I install F8 with bona-fide attr2 in effect, with
selinux (so attrs on everything) and then update it while mounted as an
attr1 filesystem, with this patch in place, it does not result in
anything bad as far as xfs_repair can see.   (and it's a big update,
probably touching most files...)
