Another person and I have decided to stop -mjc porting for now. because we
dont know what will break XFS.

so we're forming out own branch and using some patches from -mjc but at a
slower pace (first patch is riel's rmap-11a which im suspicous of) but
once we can isolate it down. The next step is to fix :)
