 The other day I was looking at this.  I learned that the XFS patch
 includes:

    * XFS for Linux proper (this is about 50% of the patch)
    * Delayed write buffers
    * POSIX ACLs
    * DMAPI (Data Management API)
    * Guaranteed datarate
    * KDB (the Kernel Debugger)
    * NMI patches
    * LVM patches
    * I'm missing something...

 Some of these are interwoven...

 The tools are included in a separate file (that is, I'm talking about
 the linux-whatever-xfs.patch).  I'm not sure what you mean by linux/xfs
 and xfs/fs.
