I tried an inline function, but I could not find a header to place it that would actually easily compile everywhere... Maybe we should just make that a xfs_verify_bno(mp, startblock) and move that out of line such in a way that a smart compiler avoids the function call overhead for xfs_verify_rtbno / xfs_verify_fsbno. I'll take another stab at this.
