Sounds like the "copy xattr" function needs to become a bit smarter: it
needs to understand some of the semantic involved and skip those
SELinux xattrs that are always meant to be set dynamically by the
running kernel.

Wenzong, which xattrs are those? Do you agree with the proposed
solution?

Jose, can you look into updating your patch accordingly?
