Hi folks,

This is the latest update of the series of patches tht introduces
CRC support into xfsprogs. Of note, for CRC enabled filesystems;

	- write support for xfs-db is disabled
	- obfuscation for metadump is disabled
	- xfs_check does nothing ("always succeed") so that xfstests
	  can run without needing this
	- all structures shoul dbe supported for printing in xfs_db
	- xfs_repair should be able to fully validate the structure
	  of a CRC enabled filesystem.
	- xfs_repair still ignores CRC validation errors when
	  reading metadata
	- mkfs.xfs enforces limitations on the format of CRC enabled
	  filesystems (inode size, attr format, projid32bit, etc).
	- whenever a v5 superblock is parsed on read by any utility,
	  it outputs a wanring about it being an experimental
	  format.

Bug reports, patches, comments, reviews, etc all welcome.

Cheers,

Dave.
