Please get together with Eric: he's having trouble whipping up
enthusiasm for his tmpfs xattr patch, he and I would both appreciate
your support (and if I've persuaded him to leave out a part of it that
you would need, join forces to call me an idiot). Mainly I'm hoping
to hear from hch and jmorris on it, being xattr-illiterate myself.
