Also a $sysconfdir/mkfs.xfs.conf.d/ scanning scheme might be a
useful feature.

Or if we ban inheritance between sections (please), as darrick stated
offline maybe just allowing configfile specification on the commandline
so that you could point to /etc/xfs/mkfs/$FOO_OS.conf

The point would be that over-arching OS config file package could
drop in all the relevant config files for its defaults rather than
munging it all together in one config file.  I.e. if ceph wants one
thing and glusterfs wants another they could each supply their own
mkfs.xfs config file w/o hassle.
