[Pvfs2-users] Kernel Module - Compilation error

[Number Cruncher]

I think this happens because HAVE_XATTR is not successfully detected by 
configure. There has been a change in
include/linux/spinlock.h where LOCK_SECTION_NAME is #define'd and the 
KBUILD_BASENAME is not properly set up. Result: the xattr stuff is still 
present in the kernel files but the pvfs kernel module doesn't #include 
<linux/xattr.h>

Not sure what the answer is, but I think the autoconf test is not 
setting the right kernel compilation CFLAGS.
