ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/testing/mdkl2.4.3-xfs.patch

this was a real quick attempt to get it to compile, area that are suspect
and may not be right :
dquot.c
and  param addition  to do_mount_nd
probably a better way to go about  getting the dir name to the dmapi
mount,
or even look at the code closer and move the dmapi stuff back into
do_mount.
