Just for reference, ext4 exposes functionality that the kernel supports via
a file in /sys/fs/ext4/features/{feature_name} so that it is possible to
check [ -e /sys/fs/ext4/features/lazy_itable_init ] in a shell script also.

There are also per-filesystem tunables in /sys/fs/ext4/{device}/ and it
wouldn't be a bad idea to expose per-filesystem features something like
/sys/fs/{fstype}/{device}/features/{feature_name} so that it is easily
checked by userspace tools using [ -e $feature ] in bash or access()
in programs rather than an ioctl.

Cheers, Andreas
