Anthony,
The notes at
ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/suse/people/mantel/next/kernel-source.changes
give you some of what you are asking about.
Per the above, it is based on the 2.4.19-pre8aa1 kernel. I believe that
already has the XFS patches in it, so you could look into what it has.
For details, I guess you need to download the source RPM and read the specfile.
