Yeah, it's "Y+p" not "Y<weird plusequals thing>p" in the xfs
documentation repo:

I doubt the value of maintaining duplicate copies of this document in
the kernel and the xfs documentation repo, and since the xfs docs and
kernel licences aren't compatible maybe we should withdraw one...

...but since Dave is the author I'm gonna punt to him. IMHO either we
should claim responsibility for those files in MAINTAINERS or drop them.
