That got reverted as the kernel parts haven't gone upstream yet.

	- improved xfs_repair performance on large filesystems
	  (always use prefetch and strided AG scanning
	  functionality)

	- Add support for concurrent group and project quota usage
	  on CRC enabled filesystems.
	- Ensure mkfs creates log sizes that are always large enough
	  for the configured fileystem geometry.

I think that covers most things. Thanks for doing this, Eric.

Cheers,

Dave.
