Would you be able to send a patch describing the feature? Presumably, the patch would be for the capabilities(7) page (or perhaps for the user_namespaces(7) page, if that seems more appropriate), As well as documenting the semantics, it would be good to include an example or two of the notation that is used for the xattr names. Presumably also there will be some changes in userspace tools (setcap/getcap?). Do you know anything about what's happening there?
