SGI or the distros themselves? Generally the distros, except for SGI storage platforms and SLES where SGI has a contractural support agreement with Novell. > Is someone from Novell / SUSE / openSUSE reading here?

For OpenSuSE presumeably the SLES folks will follow-up with OpenSuSE, but I can't predict when. For Fedora, Eric Sandeen. For RHEL (on anything except SGI storage platforms), nobody since XFS is not supported directly by Redhat. For all other distros and server & NAS vendors, it's entirely up to their maintainers and respective support organization - generally they track a release or two behind kernel.org.
