if you grabbed the patch of xfs from the kernel.src.rpm for 2.4.3, you
should have a patch that works on top of some version of ac since redhat
takes ac into it's kernel rpm.
but, ac has probably changed a bit from 2.4.3 days to 2.4.6 days, so I
don't know how hard the two would be to reconcile. I have done xfs/ac
merges before so it is not impossible...sometimes you might have a weird
conflict that only an expert (like steve) can tell you what you should
do.
