I don't see where this is implemented in this patch, and it should be
removed from the commit message to avoid confusion.

One minor strangeness in this commit message is that the above usage example
doesn't include nanoseconds or Birth time for ext4, when this should be
supported for all ext4 filesystems?  Was this example run on an older ext3
filesystem (or some filesystem upgraded from ext3)?  Any ext4-formatted fs
should have the larger inode size to handle these extra fields.

Also a bit strange that "IO Block: 4096" and "IO-blocksize: blksize=4096"
is listed twice, but that seems to be an issue with the test-statx tool
and not necessarily the data being returned.

Cheers, Andreas
