/*
* Extended attribute header format
*
* This works in a similar way to dirents. There is a fixed size header
* followed by a variable length section made up of the name and the
* associated data. In the case of a "stuffed" entry, the value is
* inline directly after the name, the ea_num_ptrs entry will be
* zero in that case. For non-"stuffed" entries, there will be
* a set of pointers (aligned to 8 byte boundary) to the block(s)
* containing the value.
*
* The blocks containing the values and the blocks containing the
* extended attribute headers themselves all start with the common
* metadata header. Each inode, if it has extended attributes, will
* have either a single block containing the extended attribute headers
* or a single indirect block pointing to blocks containing the
* extended attribure headers.
*
* The maximim size of the data part of an extended attribute is 64k
* so the number of blocks required depends upon block size. Since the
* block size also determines the number of pointers in an indirect
* block, its a fairly complicated calculation to work out the maximum
* number of blocks that an inode may have relating to extended attributes.
