mkfs.xfs doesn't have a '--protofile' option. It has a '-p <file>'
option for specifying a protofile - is that what you mean?

Regardless, there is no xattr support in mkfs/proto.c at all - it's
never been supported, and I don't recall anyone ever asking for it.
Hence it would have to be implemented from scratch if you need it.
