But it Right, adding xattr support would require changes to 5 or 6 different kernel modules (linux/freebsd/netbsd/windows/solaris?), and some of these might not even have xattrs to begin with (windows?) requiring an alternative approach. But everwhere we already have and support pioctls, the only places where that breaks is when you try to run a Linux venus binary talking to a NetBSD kernel module, but it was never designed to do that in the first place. It used to break at the first 'ls' because the kernel module used to leave directory parsing up to the VFS and we used to have a different directory container file on each platform.
