I was considering to define _LAST value, but we have EVM_XATTR_HMAC in
the middle...
In fact I was expecting to get some feedback about it, because in
reality it is just a sanity check.
It does not prevent DoS because it is possible to set correctly
formatted but wrong value and force DoS.

'log' mode is also special mode for system developing and debugging.
It is beneficial to be able to 'label' target object with correct value...
