Or I could just add a parameter "const char *xattr_name" which identifies which xattr caller is looking for. (So no returning the name of xattr). And this will simply return "int". Anyway, all the callers right now only expect "security.selinux". Those who can deal with other xattrs, can pass it explicitly. I feel current patch is better because caller can check anyway, what xattr name it got in return and reject it if it does not want to deal with it. No hardcoding of xattr names required.
