http://oss.sgi.com/~sandeen/linux-2.4.19-xfs contains
patches for top of tree xfs to work with 2.4.19, for the stanford
checker folks.

linux-2.4.19-xfs-TOT-core.patch - patch for core linux 2.4.19 tree
xfs-TOT-for-2.4.19.patch        - patch against latest fs/xfs from CVS

This builds & functions basically for me, although I do manage to hit
some bugs in core kernel changes that existed in 2.4.19, because I took
the existing core 2.4.19 patch to start with.

If these bugs get in the way of testing, please let me know.
