[PATCH][0/7] xattr consolidation and support for ramfs & tmpfs

[James Morris]

This series of patches consolidates some common xattr logic into libfs,
saving significant code duplication and making it easier for filesystem
writers to implement xattr support.

The ext3, ext2 and devpts filesytems are then converted to use the new
API, and xattr support is added to ramfs and tmpfs.

Three related LSM hooks are changed to take inodes instead of dentries, 
which is in keeping with the existing ext2 and ext3 code (the existing 
devpts code wants to pass a dentry, but it doesn't need to).

I've done a fair bit of testing of these patches with no problems.  Please 
review and apply if ok.
