XFS was designed such that fsck's would not be needed at
boot time. The journal keeps track of any unwritten meta data
changes and is replayed at boot time.
Adding xfs_check at boot time would significantly increase the boot
time XFS was specifically trying to reduce by design.
If any user feels do inclined add xfs_check to their init script
(or link fsck.xfs to xfs_check)that is perfectly reasonable thing
but it is then their decision to take the boot time hit.
The only reason fsck.xfs exists is because linix init scripts expect
the root file system be of an older pre-journal design filesystem, one that
does no have a mechanism for crash recovery other than a complete filesystem
check.
