The Python os.setxattr() API is Linux-specific, so trying to use
it on other OSes triggers a failure:

   File "/Users/pm215/src/qemu/tests/functional/qemu_test/asset.py",
line 227, in fetch
     os.setxattr(str(tmp_cache_file), "user.qemu-asset-url",
     ^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'os' has no attribute 'setxattr'

Since we only set the attributes here for informational
purposes, skip them when os.setxattr() isn't available.

Is anybody going to pick this up via their tree, or should
I just put it into target-arm.next ?

I currently don't have any other patches in my queue, so it would be great 
if Daniel or you could take it.

 Thanks,
