I have a few things that I want to do to make syncs easier in the
future:

 - stop using the plain xfs.h include in userland, and use the same
   includes as in kernel space.  This might require some new stub
   headers and magic #include_next games in userland, but should really
   ease our life there.
 - split files only partially shared between kernel and userspace and
   logical boundaries so that they can be shared 1:1.  My poster child
   for that would be to split a xfs_busy_extent.c out of xfs_alloc.c.

But let's get this release out before starting major surgery.
