For Gluster, since we require XFS, and XFS has a max metadata value size of 64
KB, use the increased stored size to reduce the number of system calls, and
how often we exit and enter the Python interpreter (via calls to pyxattr
module).
Today, with the hardcoded 254 byte limit per xattr key/value pair, adding a
couple hundred bytes of user specified metadata can translate to up to three
xattr key/value pairs (remember that the internal python metadata dictionary
is pickled first and then stored in chunks in the keys).
