+/*
+ * In order to implement EA/ACLs in a clean, backwards compatible manner,
+ * they are implemented as files in a "private" directory.
+ * Each EA is in it's own file, with the directory layout like so (/ is assumed
+ * to be relative to fs root). Inside the /.reiserfs_priv/xattrs directory,
+ * directories named using the capital-hex form of the objectid and
+ * generation number are used. Inside each directory are individual files
+ * named with the name of the extended attribute.
+ *
+ * So, for objectid 12648430, we could have:
+ * /.reiserfs_priv/xattrs/C0FFEE.0/system.posix_acl_access
+ * /.reiserfs_priv/xattrs/C0FFEE.0/system.posix_acl_default
+ * /.reiserfs_priv/xattrs/C0FFEE.0/user.Content-Type
+ * .. or similar.
+ *
+ * The file contents are the text of the EA. The size is known based on the
+ * stat data describing the file.
+ *
+ * In the case of system.posix_acl_access and system.posix_acl_default, since
+ * these are special cases for filesystem ACLs, they are interpreted by the
+ * kernel, in addition, they are negatively and positively cached and attached
+ * to the inode so that unnecessary lookups are avoided.
