Seems RedHat just doesn't want us to use XFS. That's why it is so
important that XFS goes into the official kernel. Then they can't refuse
it anymore :)

AFAIK RH AS uses a quite old but heavy patched kernel. It may be
difficult to backport current XFS patches. You may have some luck trying
the patches from the 2.4.9-34 source RPM as a starting point.
