Don't worry too much about that timestamp.  This code is actually from recent 
SuSE kernels, which we (er, Nathan, actually) keeps quite up to date, plus 
patches which get things going on RHEL4.
That timestamp was probably way back when SuSE originally pulled xfs from cvs, 
but they have had many updates since then.
We could tidy up the string, but it's harmless.
