Looks good, but a few comments below:

The kind of historic comments like now simplified by  .. don't make any
sense after only a short while.  I'd just remove the first senstence
above, as the details of the problems are explained much better later.

I still don't like these wrappers.  They are all local to xfs_mount.c,
and only have a single function calling them.  See the RFC patch below
which removes them, and imho makes the code more readable.  Especially
in xfs _add case where we can get rid of one level of error remapping,
and go directly from the weird percpu return values to the positive
xfs errors instead of doing a detour via the negative linux errors.

this one is entirely unused.
