I don't think the patch for the 2.4.3 kernel will work with 2.4.4. AFAIK
you will have to use the development tree for that, and a recent message
from Steve Lord with the subject "Linux 2.4.4 + xfs" looks like he doesn't
recommend XFS with Linux 2.4.4 for the faint of heart just yet because of
certain issues that have to be ironed out first.
