Apologies if this has been covered already.

The FreeBSD calls to get/set/list extended attributes differ from those
in Linux:

FreeBSD                    Linux
----------                 ----------
extattr_get_*              *getxattr
extattr_set_*              *setxattr
extattr_list_*             *listxattr
extattr_delete_*           *removexattr

Is FreeBSD going to provide an extended attributes API that is
compatible with the one Linux is using, or should devlopers write a
wrapper around these calls?

(Playing around with Samba 4 which can use extended attributes to store
all that Windows stuff)
