For whatever reason reiser4 doesn't support the standard extended
attributes interfaces that the other Linux filesystems support.  My
understanding though is that it does have something similar.  So you'd
have to find out what that interface is, and then refactor the
ExtendedAttribute class around it.

Sigh.  It'd be no work at all if it used the same API.
