This is used for unification. The patch in ext2 and ext3 are used to map
the generic immutable-unlink bit to the file system extended attribute.
Each file system may encode those generic attribute in a different way.
So using vserver on another fs is no problem, unless you are trying to
unify (share common binaries between vserver to save disk space)
