I think we'll need another define for libhandle - it's at least
in theory supposed to be a somewhat generic library. In fact using
the existing XATTR_ values sort of makes sense for libattr, so I'd
say define a LIBHANDE_ version as well.

In general yes, for fsr I don't think so. One is the pure amount
of broken stubs it would need, the second is that fsr is the only
program that requires a _mounted_ XFS file system anyway. Most other
programs just use the on disk format, or in case of xfs_io are useful
for any file system.
