Just a quick addition - this seems to be smoke testing on fstests
just fine at the moment. It looks like there is nothing
catastrophically broken in the conversion (apart from discontiguous
buffers w/ AIO).

The xfsprogs base is the current for-next tree (5.9.0-rc1, IIRC),
and it applies on top of the config file patchset I posted earlier.

Cheers,

Dave.
