It may happen that we leave some XATTRs behind. For instance, on
a sudden power loss, the host just shuts down without calling
restore on domain paths. This creates a problem, because when the
host starts up again, the XATTRs are there but they don't reflect
the true state and this may result in libvirt denying start of a
domain.
To solve this, save a unique timestamp (host boot time) among
with our XATTRs.

+ * In ideal world, where there network file systems have XATTRs

+ * the XATTRs invalid. Well, there is not an easy way out. We
+ * would need to somehow check if the longer running host is
+ * still there and uses the @path (how?).
+ * Fortunately, there is only one network file system which
+ * supports XATTRs currently (GlusterFS via FUSE) and it is used
+ * so rarely that it's almost a corner case.
+ * The worst thing that happens there is that we remove XATTRs
+ * and thus return @path to the default label for $SECDRIVER.
