I wonder if something like:

	/* Look for V5 feature flags we don't know about */
	if (XFS_SB_VERSION_NUM(sb) >= XFS_SB_VERSION_5 &&
	    (xfs_sb_has_ro_compat_feature(sb, XFS_SB_FEAT_RO_COMPAT_UNKNOWN) ||
	     xfs_sb_has_incompat_feature(sb, XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_UNKNOWN) ||
	     xfs_sb_has_compat_feature(sb, XFS_SB_FEAT_COMPAT_UNKNOWN))) {
		printf("unknown feature flags 0x%x/0x%x/0x%x\n", 
			sb->sb_features_ro_compat & XFS_SB_FEAT_RO_COMPAT_UNKNOWN,
			sb->sb_features_incompat & XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_UNKNOWN,
			sb->sb_features_compat & XFS_SB_FEAT_COMPAT_UNKNOWN);
		...

would suffice, given that the user will need to read code to unerstand the hex
values, anyway.
	
Hm, and as Fanael also pointed out, "compat" features ... should be ok, right,
and can be removed from the exclusions?
