Mount option got removed?
#define MNTOPT_DMAPI "dmapi" /* DMI enabled (DMAPI / XDSM) */
#define MNTOPT_XDSM "xdsm" /* DMI enabled (DMAPI / XDSM) */
#define MNTOPT_DMI "dmi" /* DMI enabled (DMAPI / XDSM) */
Still there, and it still works....

dmapi is not in kernel.org trees, so you need to use the cvs tree.
Then you need both the CONFIG_DMAPI and CONFIG_XFS_DMAPI build
options set to build as modules.
Then you need to load the modules, and the QA tests will run
(the qa tests check for the existance of a loaded dmapi module
and don't run if it is not present).
Cheers,
Dave.
