I was prototyping a new T2 infolevel that better matches the getxattr
and setxattr VFS calls.
Any objection to using the next QPathInfo/SetPathinfo infolevel in
sequence after the POSIX Get and Set ACL ones? and defining a new Unix
QFSInfo capability 0x4 for the server to indicate support for xattr
support (only two are defined at the moment, which includes the POSIX
ACL capability). This would allow the client to send the actual xattr
name (including the namespace prefix) to Samba (needed for trusted and
security xattrs among others including support for security labels and
presumably would be required for remote support of SELinux).
