FWIW, these patches of mine where (1) 'xfs: ' is in the subject; (2) the
changes only touch things in libxfs and the bare minimum to avoid build
breakage; and (3) whose commit log don't really match the changes are
straight ports of the kernel-space patches.

I hesitate to use the libxfs-apply script for these patches (even though
Eric will do that when he's resyncing for real) because the source
commit ids will probably never match what ends up in Linus tree.

I don't know if anyone /else/ follows this convention, but in my
xfsprogs series, I try to prefix patches that change /only/ userspace
libxfs with the tag 'libxfs: ', so that reviewers can spend more time on
the patches that tag either libxfs directly or some userspace program.

That said, this is really not obvious.  I've wondered if I should amend
libxfs-apply to be able to quote the source commit subject line so that
it's more obvious when a patch is simply a userspace port.  Would that
help?
