 Ordering constraints:

+	c->xattr_sem
+	------------
+
+This read/write semaphore protects against concurrent access to the
+xattr related objects which include stuff in superblock and ic->xref.
+In read-only path, write-semaphore is too much exclusion. It's enough
+by read-semaphore. But you must hold write-semaphore when updating,
+creating or deleting any xattr related object.
+
+Once xattr_sem released, there would be no assurance for the existence
+of those objects. Thus, a series of processes is often required to retry,
+when updating such a object is necessary under holding read semaphore.
+For example, do_jffs2_getxattr() holds read-semaphore to scan xref and
+xdatum at first. But it retries this process with holding write-semaphore
+after release read-semaphore, if it's necessary to load name/value pair
+from medium.

+ * xattr_datum_hashkey(xprefix, xname, xvalue, xsize)
+ *   is used to calcurate xdatum hashkey. The reminder of hashkey into XATTRINDEX_HASHSIZE is
+ *   the index of the xattr name/value pair cache (c->xattrindex).
+ * is_xattr_datum_unchecked(c, xd)
+ *   returns 1, if xdatum contains any unchecked raw nodes. if all raw nodes are not
+ *   unchecked, it returns 0.
+ * unload_xattr_datum(c, xd)
+ *   is used to release xattr name/value pair and detach from c->xattrindex.
+ * reclaim_xattr_datum(c)
+ *   is used to reclaim xattr name/value pairs on the xattr name/value pair cache when
+ *   memory usage by cache is over c->xdatum_mem_threshold. Currentry, this threshold 
+ *   is hard coded as 32KiB.
+ * do_verify_xattr_datum(c, xd)
+ *   is used to load the xdatum informations without name/value pair from the medium.
+ *   It's necessary once, because those informations are not collected during mounting
+ *   process when EBS is enabled.
+ *   0 will be returned, if success. An negative return value means recoverable error, and
+ *   positive return value means unrecoverable error. Thus, caller must remove this xdatum
+ *   and xref when it returned positive value.
+ * do_load_xattr_datum(c, xd)
+ *   is used to load name/value pair from the medium.
+ *   The meanings of return value is same as do_verify_xattr_datum().
+ * load_xattr_datum(c, xd)
+ *   is used to be as a wrapper of do_verify_xattr_datum() and do_load_xattr_datum().
+ *   If xd need to call do_verify_xattr_datum() at first, it's called before calling
+ *   do_load_xattr_datum(). The meanings of return value is same as do_verify_xattr_datum().
+ * save_xattr_datum(c, xd)
+ *   is used to write xdatum to medium. xd->version will be incremented.
+ * create_xattr_datum(c, xprefix, xname, xvalue, xsize)
+ *   is used to create new xdatum and write to medium.
+ * delete_xattr_datum(c, xd)
+ *   is used to delete a xdatum. It marks xd JFFS2_XFLAGS_DEAD, and allows
