This works for xfstests generic/319 on 32-bit x86. The xfstests
run was okay, with a lockdep in the middle and a crash in xfs/300.
Neither the lockdep nor the crash could reproduced by running
individual tests one by one.
generic/319 itself fails only because it couldn't find its
_cleanup routine. I'm not sure if I'm using v1 or v2 of
generic/319.
The kernel is set to the commit just before the latest aio-next
merge, which is causing severe problems here. xfsprogs was the
latest production xfsprogs because my copy of xfstests is having
trouble checking v4 XFS filesystems otherwise.
Will test xfs_node_toosmall patch v2 once I get home.
Thanks!
Michael
