Well, we do run xfs on top of bcache on vanilla 4.9 kernels on a few
dozen production servers here. Mainly because we ran into all sorts
of issues with newer kernels (not necessary related to xfs). 4.9,
OTOH, appears to be rock solid for our workload.

But I'm OK with holding off on the patch. According to Darrick, the
issue that is fixed by the patch should not cause serious problems
anyway if xfs debugging is turned off.
