Sure, that works.

I implemented this for ext4 and extents only, and it does work, though it's a
bit more complex than the xattr solution -- about 70 extra lines of code
including comments.  See diff for fs/ext4/verity.c below.

But we can go with it if you think it's worthwhile to avoid using xattrs at all.
