Now that everyone felt the consensus is that we need the check I look
into adding it into XFS, but it seems like we already have that check
in xfs_xattr_put_listent:

	/*
         * Only show root namespace entries if we are actually allowed to
	 * see them.
	 */
	if ((flags & XFS_ATTR_ROOT) && !capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN))
		return 0;

Can you send me the testcases where XFs shows trusted attributes?
