Looks good, merged into "testing".
I did make a slight change to the format -- instead of putting the hex
value in parenthesis, I separated the two fields with a /, which I think
should make things easier for scripts to parse.
You should be able to do something like this to get at the hex value for
testing:
$ getfattr -n ceph.caps foo | cut -d / -f2
Let me know if you see issues with that and we can revisit the format.
Thanks!
