My TAKE yesterday split a whole heap of support stuff into a separate
module. The module is controlled by CONFIG_XFS_SUPPORT.

You'll need to run "make oldconfig" (or similar) before you build to 
get this defined. Also make sure you run "depmod -a" so the dependency
on the new module is picked up.

If you're using insmod not modprobe, you'll have to insmod
xfs/support/xfs_support.o before xfs.
