Am wondering what might be the reason for non-inclusion and whether it was ever implemented in XFS ? If implemented on IRIX XFS, what is potential reason for not being available on Linux ? Or, it is just that it does not give any benefit. I believe that there are significant number of such small files

I don't think this behavior is any different from Irix:

xfs3 1# cd /tmp
xfs3 2# touch foo
xfs3 3# xfs_bmap -v foo
foo: no extents
xfs3 4# echo a > foo
xfs3 5# xfs_bmap -v foo
foo:
 EXT: FILE-OFFSET      BLOCK-RANGE      AG AG-OFFSET        TOTAL  FLG
   0: [0..7]:          11168..11175      0 11168..11175         8
xfs3 6# du foo
8       foo
xfs3 7# uname -a
IRIX64 cxfs3 6.5 07010238 IP27
