OK?

This does not belong here - it is a limit that applies to the ioctl
API and so must be the same in userspace and the kernel. Such
definitions belong in libxfs/xfs_fs.h, and should respect local OS
limits if defined. e.g. something like:

#ifdef XATTR_LIST_MAX
#define XFS_XATTR_LIST_MAX XATTR_LIST_MAX
#else
#define XFS_XATTR_LIST_MAX 65536
#endif

Will work on both the kernel and userspace side. This will also need
a kernel side patch...

Cheers,

Dave.
