2.4.8 is on its way (I see 2.4.9-pre2 is out, ho hum) this one has proved
more difficult due to changes from Al Viro, these basically meant I needed
to rework how we trigger syncing inodes to disk in XFS. The cvs tree is
currently at 2.4.8-pre7, I have pushed out a 2.4.8-pre7 patch in case
2.4.8 has issues.

All this should be showing up on oss today.
