Looks good, appart from the fact that I don't see the point of merging
xfs_{init,destroy}_zones into xfs_{init,exit}, appart from clobbering it
and making it less readeable.

could be:
error = xfs_init_zones();
if (error)
      goto out;

and all the other error cases will end with
xfs_destroy_zones();

That would look much more like the rest of the calls in these functions.
