Mapped mode stores extended attributes in the user space of the extended
attributes. Given that the user space extended attributes are available
to regular files only, special files are created as regular files on the
fileserver and appropriate mode bits are added to the extended attributes.
This method presents all special files and symlinks as regular files on the
fileserver while they are represented as special files on the guest mount.
Implemntation of symlink in mapped security model:
A regular file is created and the link target is written to it.
readlink() reads it back from the file.
On Guest/Client:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2010-05-11 12:20 asymlink -> afile
On Host/Fileserver:
-rw-------. 1 root root 6 2010-05-11 09:20 asymlink
afile
Under passthrough model, it just calls underlying symlink() readlink()
system calls are used.
Under both security models, client user credentials are changed
after the filesystem objec creation.

In the mapped security model, VirtFS server intercepts and maps
the file object create and get/set attribute requests. Files on the fileserver
will be created with VirtFS servers (QEMU) user credentials and the
client-users credentials are stored in extended attributes. On the request
to get attributes, server extracts the client-users credentials
from extended attributes and sends them to the client.
On Host/Fileserver:
-rw-------. 2 virfsuid virtfsgid 0 2010-05-11 09:19 afile
On Guest/Client:
-rw-r--r-- 2 guestuser guestuser 0 2010-05-11 12:19 afile

mapped model changes the owner in the extended attributes.
passthrough model does the change through lchown() as the
server don't need to follow the link and client will send the
actual filesystem object.

This patch adds required infrastructure for the new security model.
- A new configure option for attr/xattr.
- if CONFIG_VIRTFS will be defined if both CONFIG_LINUX and CONFIG_ATTR defined.
- Defines routines related to both security models.

The new option is:
-fsdev fstype,id=myid,path=/share_path/,security_model=[mapped|passthrough]
-virtfs fstype,path=/share_path/,security_model=[mapped|passthrough],mnt_tag=tag
In the case of mapped security model, files are created with QEMU user
credentials and the client-user's credentials are saved in extended attributes.
Whereas in the case of passthrough security model, files on the
filesystem are directly created with client-user's credentials.
