A number of functions in libntfs-3g are generally useful, but are tied to
extended attributes support and are not included when the library is
built on platforms without extended attributes support.
This proposal updates libntfs-3g to always include these functions.
The only tricky part is dealing with the XATTR_CREATE and XATTR_REPLACE
flags. These flags are defined in <sys/xattr.h>, so they must be
redefined on platforms without extended attributes support.

Switch to the standard autoconf AC_HEADER_MAJOR macro which takes care
of the ugly details like when to use mkdev.h and when to use sysmacros.h.
(requires <sys/types.h> to be included)
Also include these in all files that use major/minor/makedev funcs.

The new way goes via /sys/dev/block/MAJOR:MINOR to map partitions to
devices and get discard parameters of the parent device. It also ensures
that the partition is aligned to the discard block size.

fstrim(8) discards unused blocks on a mounted filesystem. It is useful for
solid-state drives (SSDs) and thinly-provisioned storage.
Only trimming the full device (with no option) is supported.
