Re: xattr "trusted" namespace

[Ted Miller <tmiller-fFyIe9EmHoY@public.gmane.org>]

Have these patches been published (on this list or elsewhere)?  If so, please 
point me to them in some way.  (I searched the list archives, but did not 
find a patch for this purpose.)

If they have not been published, are they available for testing, or when will 
they be available?
