Subject: [PATCH 0/4][v2: minor update][RFC] NFSv3: implement extended attribute (XATTR)

This is an updated version of the NFSv3 xattr patchset which I initially
posted in Sept 2009:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-nfs&m=125337309409400&w=2

This version of the patchset is a simple rebase to the current devel
branch of the upstream NFS tree. Christoph was interested in seeing the
updated NFS xattr handlers (following the flags API change), so I figured
I'd post just the rebased patches. Other than that, this will only be of
interest to folk who wish to play with the code using a current kernel.

I'm still in the process of incorporating functional feedback,
particularly following a discussion with Trond on using a private
namespace on the server to allow simple storage of all kinds of xattrs.
An updated patchset with this implemented should follow fairly soon.
