+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1224600 +++

Description of problem:
Currently triggering signing for a file (explicit signing by bitd) is based on
overloading writev(). This is a bit dangerous and not clean. Better to move it
to setxattr() path (with a special key identified by bitd and stub).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mainline
