Bug description:
  I am using ubuntu 15.10 with kernel linux-image-4.2.0-27-generic.
  The setting  CONFIG_AUFS_XATTR is not set.

  With the previous ubuntu version 15.04 and linux-
  image-3.19.0-42-generic this setting was compiled as
  CONFIG_AUFS_XATTR=y

  Without  CONFIG_AUFS_XATTR docker users using the AUFS driver can not
  work with capabilities.
