A couple of comments:
- The struct xfs_bmalloca field "low" ought to be eliminated
  (or renamed "pad" or something), since it's now unused
  (->flist->xbf_low is used in its place).
- It might have been a bit simpler to review if using
  ->flist->xbf_low in place of ->low and ->minleft
  in place of minleft were done as separate, min-steps.

In any case, this looks good.
