From: Anthony G. Basile <blueness@gentoo.org>

This patch adds support for a restricted user-controlled namespace on
tmpfs filesystem used to house PaX flags.  The namespace must be of the
form user.pax.* and its value cannot exceed a size of 8 bytes.

This is needed even on all Gentoo systems so that XATTR_PAX flags
are preserved for users who might build packages using portage on
a tmpfs system with a non-hardened kernel and then switch to a
hardened kernel with XATTR_PAX enabled.

The namespace is added to any user with Extended Attribute support
enabled for tmpfs.  Users who do not enable xattrs will not have
the XATTR_PAX flags preserved.
