Thank you. These patches look good to me, in general. I do have a couple
of minor comments to make, but I'll do that with a slightly shorter Cc
list.

In the meantime I've committed the utils patch directly to the mtd-utils
git tree at git://git.infradead.org/mtd-utils.git and I have created a
new kernel git tree at git://git.infradead.org/jffs2-xattr-2.6.git. 
(Both of these are browsable at http://git.infradead.org for non-git
users).

I've created a new git tree for the kernel side because I want Linus to
pull from the existing MTD git tree immediately after he releases
2.6.17, and I'd like the xattr code to be in public view (and the -mm
tree) for a bit longer than that. As soon as Linus releases 2.6.17 and
pulls from the MTD tree for 2.6.18, I intend to pull the xattr code into
the main mtd tree -- as long as other reviewers are happy. OK?
