Very interesting, I was unaware we could convert attributes with
linux. That would be useful for ext2fs.

Please update the fuse/fuse-kernel.h to 7.9 [1]. That version added the
attributes stuff and not having the same headers as the linux
versions causes trouble.

FWIW, it was an event that I try to forget, but I tried to bump the 
level to 7.10 without implementing the API and it broke a lot of stuff.

Pedro.
