I can think of two places off the top of my head where it is
documented:

Documentation/filesystems/xfs.txt in your local kernel source tree:

  inode64
        Indicates that XFS is allowed to create inodes at any location
        in the filesystem, including those which will result in inode
        numbers occupying more than 32 bits of significance.  This is
        provided for backwards compatibility, but causes problems for
        backup applications that cannot handle large inode numbers.

$ man 8 mount

  inode64

	Indicates that XFS is allowed to create inodes at any location in the
	filesystem,  including  those which will result in inode numbers occupying more
	than 32 bits of significance.  This is provided for backwards compatibility,
	but causes problems for backup applications that cannot handle large inode
	numbers.


Cheers,

Dave.
