Simple enough, but there's an admin problem with this patch.

This isn't actually true. You're moving a bunch of code from
fs/xfs/xfs_error.h that is under:

 * Copyright (c) 2000-2002,2005 Silicon Graphics, Inc.
 * All Rights Reserved.

Moving code into a new file does not reassign the copyright on the
code to a new owner. Hence I think this is the appropriate way to
record the copyrights on this new file:

 * Copyright (c) 2000-2002,2005 Silicon Graphics, Inc.
 * Copyright (C) 2017 Oracle.
 * All Rights Reserved.

And there's no real need for author tags as we've got that
information in the git repo....

Cheers,

Dave.
