    This patch adds trusted extended attributes.  Trusted extended attributes are
    visible and accessible only to processes that have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN
    capability.  Attributes in this class are used to implement mechanisms in
    user space (i.e., outside the kernel) which keep information in extended
    attributes to which ordinary processes have no access.  HSM is an example.
