This is a merge of an Irix change to back out some algorithmic
changes in the xfs allocator and mkfs programs. There was a
change to use stripe width rather than stripe unit alignment
in allocations for these filesystems. The code worked just fine,
the problem is it hammered the first disk in a stripe and killed
performance in some configurations. A different version of this
fix will come along one day.
