I know zfs has a different implementation of EAs, but they are there.. So.. Is it possible for an LX zone to somehow use them with native linux tools like getfattr, setfattr, etc? I tried adding xattr and user_xattr to the zone's fstab file hoping just maybe it was that simple, but, no dice. Any ideas?

No support for linux get/setxattr syscalls right now in LX brants other than superficial faking to please certain circumstances:
