(1) It wasn't my idea, I just provided the information.

(2) Everything is a compromise.  If beagle performance is a concern, it 
appears one has three options (modulo improvements in beagle 
implementation):

 	- live with it
 	- live without it
 	- try the suggestion

(3) Somebody obviously thought there were reasonable use cases for this 
sort of thing, or it wouldn't have mainline kernel support.

(3) These aren't the usual attributes.  See 'man 5 attr'.
