Make the file creation time, inode data version number and inode generation
number available on Ext4 by as xattrs named:
file.crtime
file.i_generation
file.i_version (directories only for ext4)
This could then be used by Samba as the SMB protocol passes the file creation
time to the client.
With this patch, you can see the xattrs providing binary data:
[root@andromeda ~]# getfattr -d /var/cache/fscache -e hex -m\.*
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: var/cache/fscache
file.crtime=0x53ba244c000000000000000000000000
