The xarray API changes (to xa_alloc and __xa_alloc) have been in
linux-next for about 2 weeks ...

It doesn't matter which goes in first, but whoever goes in last should
inform Linus about these (now 2) API change fixups. In fact you should
probably both let him know as he sometimes batches up similar groups of
merge requests (like fs or net) and doesn't do them in the order they
are submitted.
