You can select each superblock and write it.

xfs_db -x /dev/blah
xfs_db> sb 1
xfs_db> write magicnum 0x58465342
xfs_db> sb 2
xfs_db> write magicnum 0x58465342
...

this could be scripted with -c <command1> -c <command2>

I don't know if they changed anything other than the magic though,
so you get to keep all pieces if it breaks!
