Consult the file fs/xfs/dmapi/Status for the details.  Each vendor's HSM
relies on different pieces of the DMAPI spec, and I've concentrated on the
more universal parts and then some.  The testing has been light, at best, and
the Status file will tell you for which functions I thought the test suite was
weakest.
