We make this requirement for symlinks, and it gets on my tits. It's a
lot of pointless special-casing. Well, _some_ :)

I think we need to allow at least up to 64KiB for EAs, which means we
really do want to allow them to be more than one node.

But yeah -- it's fairly trivial. And then someone can write a database
front end which uses them to make up a fairly simple database on JFFS2
