There is a new version of this work (Eric's patches and the base
libxfs restructure) here:
git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/xfs.git xfs-libxfs-restructure
It's based on 3.15 with the current for-next branch merged into it
and then the changes done over the top, so it's about as up-to-date
as it can be. Comments welcome...
Cheers,
Dave.
