Linus,

	Enclosed please find patches to add extended attribute support
to the ext2 and ext3 filesystems.  It is a port of Andreas Gruenbacher's
patches, which have been quite well tested at this point.  Full support
for extended attributes have been in e2fsprogs for quite some time.  In
addition, if CONFIG_EXT[23]_FS_ATTR is not enabled, the code path
changes are quite minimal, and hence this should be a very low-risk
patch.  Please apply.

These patches are a prerequisite for the port of Andreas Gruenbacher's
ACL patches, which will follow shortly.

This first patch creates a generic interface for registering caches with
the VM subsystem so that they can react appropriately to memory
pressure.
