This patch updates the xattr image cache driver to use methods that are
more broadly compatible. The issue here is that there is more than one
xattr Python module out there. Specifically, there are:
https://github.com/xattr/xattr
http://git.k1024.org/pyxattr.git/
The previous glance code expected an interface available in the first
version. This patch changes the code to use an interface that is common
to both of these.
This makes all of the image cache tests working against the current pyxattr
package in Fedora.

Glance
======
Glance is a project that defines services for discovering, registering,
retrieving and storing virtual machine images. The discovery and registration
responsibilities are handled by the `glance-registry` component while the
retrieval and storage responsiblities are handled by the `glance-api`
component.
Quick Start
-----------
If you'd like to run trunk, you can clone the git repo:
git clone git@github.com:openstack/glance.git
Install Glance by running::
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
By default, `glance-registry` will use a SQLite database. If you'd like to use
MySQL, or make other adjustments, you can modify the glance.cnf file (see
documentation for more details).
Now that Glance is installed, you can start the service. The easiest way to
do that is by using the `glance-control` utility which runs both the
`glance-api` and `glance-registry` services::
glance-control all start
Once both services are running, you can now use the `glance` tool to
register new images in Glance.
glance add name="My Image" < /path/to/my/image
With an image registered, you can now configure your IAAS provider to use
Glance as its image service and begin spinning up instances from your
newly registered images.
