I would add, that the same message is also issued, when the user tries
to change non-user attribute. e.g.:
setfattr -n something -v something
setfattr -n user.something -v something
The first won't work on user_xattr enabled partiton, the latter will.

The message should be at least different from the standard one, like:
"No permission to change non-user attribute." The: "operation not
supported" doesn't fit here at all. I don't know how wide the standard
is, but one could also make a special flag for this namely:
setfattr -u something -v something
would mean:
setfattr -n user.something -v something
