Missing "of" between amounts and zero. (Yeah it was in the original, but
if you're touching it anyway...)

+c_xattrs_size  8 bytes                Size of xattrs field

+Most of the fields match cpio_newc_header except c_mtime that contains
+microseconds. c_chksum field is dropped.
+
+xattr_size is a total size of xattr_entry including 8 bytes of
+xattr_size. xattr_size has the same hexadecimal ASCII encoding as other
+fields of cpio header.

xattrs_size or xattr_size?

Total nitpicks, I know. :)

xattr_size here refers to size of each xattr_entry:
xattr_entry := xattr_size[8] + xattr_name + "\0" + xattr_value

I'll move this paragraph closer to that line.
