I gather that NFSv4 does have something to do with extended atributes,
but I can't see that Steinar's suggestion has anything at all to do
with NFSv4, so I don't see its relevance.

Or is there something about NFSv4 that is relevant to the "walk this
path relative to the directory this fd is on" semantic?  I can't see
how there could be - am I just exposing my ignorance of NFSv4?
