XFS DMAPI support for RHEL4

Hi,

I am running RHEL with kernel 2.6.9-42ELsmp x86_64. I got the xfs module
from http://sandeen.net/rhel4_xfs/ and did a rpmbuild as instructed there, I
got the xfs.ko and the module-xfs rpm for the running kernel too but modinfo
shows me that the xfs module hence created is not dmapi enabled.

[root@asher RPMS]# modinfo xfs
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.ELsmp/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko
license: GPL
description: SGI XFS with ACLs, security attributes, realtime, large
block/inode numbers, no debug enabled
author: Silicon Graphics, Inc.
depends:
vermagic: 2.6.9-42.ELsmp SMP gcc-3.4

When I run a simple app which tries to init dmapi for XFS it fails with
ENOSYS.
Did I miss anything here? How do I enable DMAPI on this XFS module?

Thanks,
Manoj
