That is what I think is happening, I'll reboot to make sure but this is
what is in my kernel configuration:

CONFIG_XFS_FS=y
# CONFIG_XFS_RT is not set
CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=y
CONFIG_XFS_DMAPI=y
# CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_PAGEBUF_DEBUG is not set

The make continues to the end so I assume that unless the XFS stuff is
silently crashing (weird) it is being made.
