0/11 Ext2/3 Updates: Extended attributes, ACL, etc.

Thanks to Andrew Morton, Andreas Gruenbacher, and others who tested and made some last-minute cleanups to the ext2/3 patches while I (and Linus!) were enjoying the warm sun of the Carribean.

The following patches are taken from Andrew Morton's 2.5.44-mm6, with these changes: (1) Updated to patch against BK-current, (2) folded the bugfix ext2-mount-fix.patch into ext23-acl-xattr-11.patch, where it belongs.

I believe these patches to be ready for inclusion into the 2.5/6 tree. They've been in Andrew's tree for a while, and should be quite safe if they are not enabled via CONFIG_EXT[23]_* options. Linus, please apply.

An updated set of all of these patches can be found at:

P.S. Some pictures from the Geekcruise <grin> can be found at:

Not all of them are up yet; only the pictures from the first 2/3 of the cruise are there. The rest should follow shortly.

Ted,

What on earth is Doc Searls and his son doing to that pirate?!?!? Jeeze it looks like they are molesting the poor bastard. I mean, not being there I probably missed the inside joke...

Cheers,
Nicholas
