Please check out the current wip=libcephfs branch and let me know how it 
looks/works for you guys.  I cleaned up your patches a bit and fixed teh 
root cause of the xattr issue you were seeing.

Thanks!

Take a look to the sourcecode - it does actually what you are talking about (see https://github.com/ferustigris/ceph/blob/wip-libcephfs-rebased-v65/src/libcephfs.cc):

That is why we were not able to automatically ?cherry-pick? our changes using respective git command. So we have manually applied our changes to the ?wip-libcephfs-rebased-v65? branch in https://github.com/ferustigris/ceph repo as one commit - you can check it out here: https://github.com/ferustigris/ceph/commit/c3f4940b2cfcfd3ea9a004e6f07f1aa3c0b6c419.
