files just get dumped into /usr/src/redhat/{SPECS,SOURCES}, it does not
updated the rpmdb.

then give up on this way because recompiling with -22 with enabled xfs is
exactly what was done for the -22 centosplus kernel. I'd suggest one of:
* wait for the new and improved centosplus kernel with fresh xfs
* build an external xfs module (suggested by a previous poster)
* use a kernel.org kernel (like maybe 2.6.15.6)
either way you go it's a, in more ways than one, unsupported setup.
