[NOTE: Added the SELinux mailing list to the CC line.]

The SELinux xattr should be portable assuming the security label's semantics 
remain constant across the different security policies.  If the label is 
completely unknown SELinux should handle it correctly, it will be treated as 
unlabeled until a module is loaded which defines the label.

Although, this is just for initramfs, yes?  If so, I'm not sure this matters 
that much from a practical point of view; Stephen or someone else from the 
SELinux list may have some thoughts on this.
