*Description :
xfs_support uses EXPORT_SYMBOL to export a bunch of symbols
into the kernel global symbol namespace. Some of the symbol
names are quite generic and hence potentially clash with other
exports.

Case in point is "copyin" and "copyout".

we can:
        - move code back into XFS
        - make simple functions static inline
