Currently if a FS is mounted for which SELinux policy does not define an

This decision is based on the existence of a genfscon rule in policy and
is irrespective of the capabilities of the filesystem itself.  This
patch allows the kernel to check if the filesystem supports security
xattrs and if so will use those if there is no fs_use_* rule in policy.
An fstype with a no fs_use_* rule but with a genfs rule will use xattrs
if available and will follow the genfs rule

Have you tried this with ntfs-3g and unionfs? I don't
think you'll have a problem with ntfs-3g, but if your
code works properly on getxattr on unionfs I'd be mildly
surprised. Pleased mind you, because then I could look
at your code and see what I've done wrong, but surprised
nonetheless.
