However, if you look at bit further: http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_status_update_for_2012 "Linux 3.7 will be a fairly boring release as far as XFS is concerned, the biggest user visible changes are an intelligent implementation of the lseek SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA calls, and finally the switch to use the inode64 allocator by default. " So it seems you are partially right. It depends on the kernel you are running if it is enabled by default.
