Good. 
(I presume you would have been using the headers from a previous install-dev).

I'm not sure I understand your question.
Are you asking if you can use the latest xfs commands from the 
cvs tree with a kernel which is not the latest ?
    If so...
    I would say generally, yes.
    I'm involved with EAs, ACLs and xfsdump/xfsrestore and they
    should work with earlier kernels - however, some bugs have
    been found in the kernel over time during development so it would 
    be better to have the latest kernel.

Ciao,
Tim.
