We might need a new one, the headers still need major work anyway.

If we start with

	xfs*_format.h - purely disk format
	xfs_fs.h - ioctl and userspace ABI constants

an

	xfs_shared.h

and
	xfs_kernel.h

seem like logical additions to move most of the misc headers to instead
of all the silly ones for just a handful or two worth of prototypes.

Note that a few non-format bits already sneaked into xfs_format.h
unfortunately, guess I need to watch more closely :)
