NAK.

The XFS superblock magic number is part of the on-disk format
definition of XFS. It belongs with all the other on-disk format
definitions in this file.

Besides, there is almost never a good reason to be doing stuff based
on filesystem magic numbers. What, exactly, do you need to know
filesystem magic numbers for in the kernel?

Cheers,

Dave.
