While it will make the code in loggen work the same (it just writes
0 to the field but the buffer is already zeroed) as it does now,
it doesn't necessarily mean it works correctly. The current kernels
validate the CRC and throw warnings if the CRC isn't correct, and
CRC enabled kernels will simply refuse to mount.

As it is, my test systems don't build loggen because
HAVE_XLOG_ASSIGN_LSN isn't set by configure. It only gets set if
there's an xfs/libxfs.h header file found in an include path. My
guess is that you've run 'make install-qa' in the xfsprogs package
at some time in the past, and that's why loggen is trying to be
built.

So Michael's quick hack to remove it just to make it compile at this
point is probably appropriate...

Cheers,

Dave.
