Not simply, it was not a concept built into the original xfs design,
so it would take some surgery - and the concept of a super user is not
as simple as it used to be, this would probably be based on some
capability (OK, thats a minor implementation detail).

Quotas could do it - but only by restricting everone else on the 
filesystem to a total less than the fs size.
