Well, we need the one specified in the NFSv4 standard. The Linux
extended attributes are pretty much useless because they are size
restricted (typical attribute size here is in the GB range, and for
example NIH and CERN have even much bigger sizes), can't be accessed
like normal files and are incompatible to Window's Alternate Streams.
