[PATCH] Extended attributes syscalls for powerpc

[Ethan Benson]

Hi Paul,

Linus has merged the Extended attributes API from Andreas Gruenbacher
and Nathan Scott (SGI) into 2.5.3, and added the i386 syscalls.

By request of Nathan I have created the attached patch to add the
syscalls to the powerpc arch.

This patch allocates syscalls 208-219, if you have no problems with
this allocation could you merge this patch with the powerpc 2.5
kernel tree?  The sooner this can happen the better as Nathan is
working on getting the userspace utilities fixed to use the official
API and official syscall numbers, therefore we need the powerpc
syscall numbers reserved ASAP so the userspace utilities can support
the powerpc architecture.

TIA
