Dreaddir/Fxattr

[Julian Reschke <reschke@GOEDEL.UNI-MUENSTER.DE>]

Speaking of performance improvements:

for tools like du or find, the current implementation with calls of
Dreaddir and Fxattr for every file is slow withoung having to be slow.
I think there should be a new system call that gets the dir entry
AND the xattr structure. The library would deal with the details of the OS
interface, so there wouldn't be a lot of changes in the sources of
applications...
