 => I would like to contribute to the effort.   I could work on the fsr port. 
 => Which means I probaly should do the "Finish the implementing the syssgi()

Just as an aside:

Most of the XFS specific syssgi calls are already available through ioctls,
and the remaining growfs specific calls are in-progress in our group.

Bulkstat & bmap calls are certainly there.
