 done, it's at
 http://hands.com/~lkcl/selinux/2.6.6/2.6.6-xattr-shmfs.patch

 i trust that anyone using this will, of course, take full
 responsibility for doing so.

 i had to change my .sig a few months back because someone was
 under the impression that stuff i sent to this list was somehow
 magically production quality, whereas what i _actually_ do is
 bumble along - but very rapidly - bouncing off walls, other
 people and problems, until a workable solution is arrived at.
 
 this tends to scare the stuffing out of people who are used
 to measured well-thought-out and well-planned development :)

 so, beware!

 that having been said, this is pretty straightforward cut/paste
 job from chris's patch, it really couldn't get any simpler.

 l.

 p.s. has anyone considered doing a macro for these "pseudo" xattrs?
      or merging them into one bit of code?

      there are now THREE identical bits of code for the pseudo
	  xattrs, except for the names of the functions.
