I agree that when Wine is emulating FAT on some other file system, waiting
for a kernel with EA support is a reasonably strategy. However, I do not
yet understand why this kernel support is required when the physical file
system is FAT.

Does not the VFAT ioctl read and write the actual directory entries in
such a case?
