SGI has never said anything about support and PPC to my knowledge, people
have run XFS on the PPC architecture. Having said that, I am pretty sure
that the system call numbers for extended attribute and acl support are
only in the kernels for ia32 and ia64. For other platforms you would
need to add the system calls to the kernel, and make sure that the
user space commands use the correct system call numbers for your
architecture.
