This patch adds support for an alternative method to add xattrs to
files in
the rootfs filesystem. Instead of extracting them directly from the ram
disk image, they are extracted from a regular file called .xattr-list,
that
can be added by any ram disk generator available today. The file format
is:

<file #N data len (ASCII, 10 chars)><file #N path>\0
<xattr #N data len (ASCII, 8 chars)><xattr #N name>\0<xattr #N value>

.xattr-list can be generated by executing:

$ getfattr --absolute-names -d -h -R -e hex -m - \
      <file list> | xattr.awk -b > ${initdir}/.xattr-list

where the content of the xattr.awk script is:

#! /usr/bin/awk -f
{
  if (!length($0)) {
    printf("%.10x%s\0", len, file);
    for (x in xattr) {
      printf("%.8x%s\0", xattr_len[x], x);
      for (i = 0; i < length(xattr[x]) / 2; i++) {
        printf("%c", strtonum("0x"substr(xattr[x], i * 2 + 1, 2)));
      }
    }
    i = 0;
    delete xattr;
    delete xattr_len;
    next;
  };
  if (i == 0) {
    file=$3;
    len=length(file) + 8 + 1;
  }
  if (i > 0) {
    split($0, a, "=");
    xattr[a[1]]=substr(a[2], 3);
    xattr_len[a[1]]=length(a[1]) + 1 + 8 + length(xattr[a[1]]) / 2;
    len+=xattr_len[a[1]];
  };
  i++;
}

Ok... I just realized this does not work for a modular initramfs, composed at load time from multiple files, which is a very real problem. Should be easy enough to deal with: instead of one large file, use one companion file per source file, perhaps something like filename..xattrs (suggesting double dots to make it less likely to conflict with a "real" file.) No leading dot, as it makes it more likely that archivers will sort them before the file proper.

Version 1 of the patch set worked exactly in this way. However, Rob
pointed out that this would be a problem if file names plus the suffix
exceed 255 characters.
