This proposal consists in marshaling pathnames and xattrs in a file

called

.xattr-list. They are unmarshaled by the CPIO parser after all files

been extracted.

Couldn't this parsing of the .xattr-list file and the setting of the
xattrs
be done equivalently by the initramfs' /init? Why is kernel involvement
actually required here?

Thanks,

There are a lot of things that could/should be done that way...
