I think Dave's resync of libxfs takes care of that bit.  Either way it
really should be a separate patch.

Also you've stopped overwriting orphanage_ino if it already exists.
I don't think this really matters as we won't have two inodes with the
same name below the root inode.  Either way it should be documented in
the changelog.

Otherwise the change looks good,
