  Modified files:
    sys/kern             syscalls.master 
  Log:
  Add system calls to explicitly list extended attributes on a
  file/directory/link, rather than using a less explicit hack on
  the extattr retrieval API:
  
    extattr_list_fd()
    extattr_list_file()
    extattr_list_link()
  
  The existing API was counter-intuitive, and poorly documented.
  The prototypes for these system calls are identical to
  extattr_get_*(), but without a specific attribute name to
  leave NULL.
