[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Return EOPNOTSUPP instead of ENOSYS for *xattr* syscalls

[Rtp]

In current code, we're sending ENOSYS to target when a syscall for the
xattrs is done. This makes applications like ls complain loudly about
that and breaks scripts parsing the output. Moreover, iirc, implemented
features of filesystems are are sending EOPNOTSUPP (I've not checked so
I may be a little bit wrong on that...).
So, I'm proposing to return -EOPNOTSUPP and make ls happy.

As a side not, I'd like to know if there's a reason for not having
implemented the *xattr* syscalls support. If someone has a clue, please
share it :).
