CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR is now always enabled as of 3.7. See commit 939da1084458246d2e29dd921c2012c177000e96 <https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=939da1084458246d2e29dd921c2012c177000e96> Linux 3.7 has been released <https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/688> on 10 Dec 2012. I don't know if simply upgrade the kernel add xattr support of mkfs is needed
