To be honest, I'd like an option to disable MBCACHE entirely. This code is of no use if the EAs on an inode are not identical (i.e. if anything other than ACLs are in use) and is also not useful if the xattrs fit into the large inodes in ext4 (and ext3 if the filesystem is formatted with this option).
