I am adding a new hook to provide the functionality that Casey
suggested. It takes an inode, context, contextlen and sets it in the
LSM. The question is that since there is a need to be able to set
in-core, on-disk, or both; should these be two separate hooks? or should
we make the hook take a flag that has in-core, and ondisk and it can be
masked together for both?
