This looks incredibly useful!  Can we throw this into Documentation/ as
a helper script (and make the xfs a command line parameter so it's
genericly useful)?

One think that would be nice is to specify a module instead of relying
on a clean namespace, but to replace the XFS functionality the one above
is more than enough.
