I actually was talking with Dawson about this a while ago, and he seemed
interested.  We still owe him comprehensive xfs-specific "rules" to
check, though, something that only a few people can probably put
together (steve, ananth... not me yet.).

I was hoping he'd run it through the standard kernel checks, but haven't
heard from him.  I'll ping him again...
