We need 'old'.

Are these parameter used to first query for the necessary size of the 
buffer and then provide the buffer to fill it? Or should the function 
rather take an existing buffer and realloc it if necessary and place the 
value of the xattr into it? Unfortunately this function currently 
returns '1' for 'discard', so returning the size of the xattr value from 
it maybe not ideal but it would require maybe yet another parameter that 
indicates what the size of the xattr value is.
