OK, so after some more digging, it would seem that XFS doesn't support the
IMMUTABLE flag, or really anything like it. Refer to:
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/mail_archive/0012/msg00073.html. The
source is a bit weird, quite unlike most the source of the other
filesystems I've seen in linux ... so vserver unification in XFS probably
isn't going to happen anytime soon. :-(
