I think this should revert cleanly (and if so is what we should do).
Josh is testing that right now...

Anand, I know policy ships with:
fs_use_xattr fuse.glusterfs gen_context(system_u:object_r:fs_t,s0);
So we must have a bug where other fuse filesystems are tripping on this
rule.  Since we are trying to use xattrs on a gvfs filesystem.

/me still grows that fuse refuses to respond to xattr requests until
mount(8) (that's right mount(8) not even mount(3) completes)
