OK, maybe it would be best to split the effort into more steps:
1) A patchset that stops using platform_* functions and replace them
with standard linux calls inside xfsprogs
2) A patchset that adds deprecation warnings into publicly visible
platform_*() calls
3) Fix userspace programs now using the deprecated functions
4) Remove completely platform_*() functions from xfsprogs
Would that be a suitable path?
Thanks!
