Mention a workaround to a bug in xfsrestore (-J option)
which will happen when restoring onto a host without any
on-disk inventory. A typical scenario is when restoring
an IRIX tape onto Linux.
This will not happen in typical life as one usually does
an xfsdump first which updates the on-disk inventory.
It's kind of a reincarnation of SGI bug#513879.
I'm fixing it for the next release...
A note has been passed on for the beta caveats.html doc.

onto Linux.
