not so sure:

# rpm -q xfsprogs
xfsprogs-3.1.1-7

# mkfs.xfs -dfile,name=fsfile,size=10g -llazy-count=0
meta-data=fsfile                 isize=256    agcount=4, agsize=655360 blks
         =                       sectsz=512   attr=2

# xfs_admin -c 1 fsfile 
Enabling lazy-counters

# xfs_check fsfile 
sb_features2 (0xa) not same as sb_bad_features2 (0x8)

# xfs_repair fsfile 
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
superblock has a features2 mismatch, correcting
writing modified primary superblock
