Yes, you are right. Now I see the issue. I agree that we need to use
fs/nilfs2 namespace.

Anyway, we need to have group fs/nilfs2/features for showing features
that are supported by driver (for example, xattrs support and so on).
Likewise features support can be configured by Kconfig.

With the best regards,
