[PATCH] XATTR issues on JFFS2

[Kaigai Kohei]

Hi,

The attached patch adds an functionality for mkfs.jffs2.

'-A' or '--with-xattr' enables to stuff up any xattr-imforamations
for each files into JFFS2 image file.
This patch depends on 'jffs2_xattr_take-3.patch' I posted on 28-Sep.

In addition, some constants of JFFS2_XPREFIX_* are moved from
fs/jffs2/xattr.h to include/linux/jffs2.h, because I want to
use those constants in mkfs.jffs2. This change has no effects
in kernel-side.

Perhaps, another style like '--with-selinux' or '--with-acl' might
be better than '--with-xattr'.

Any comments please,
Thanks.
