On a second thought, shouldn't it be two separate patches in the end?

* Some adjustment of the error codes seems to be needed to correctly
  mimick Linux, so GNU tools et al don't misinterpret some error as
  being "fatal"

* Optionally allowing access to the system namespace from within a jail
  is also needed for some use cases (as shown by HBSD having a patch),
  but is in fact unrelated to the issue with Linux *xattr calls

Please correct me if I'm wrong here ;)

Cheers, Felix
