That sounds pretty good. In particular, I think that making the start
and stop of the workqueues correct should be the high priority. I'm not
as concerned about the accuracy of the names, or cleaning up xfs_sync.c
and xfs_iget.c, but cleanups are worth doing too.
I hit a crash related to the xfslogd workqueue awhile back. Mark has
taken it up, so there might be a little coordination to do with him.

I am just digging through that crash. It appears that xfs_umountfs() did
a good job in cleaning the AIL and the m_ddev_targp, but it needs to
wait for the xfslogd to be finished before deallocating the log.
Since workqueues are cheap, maybe it would be smart to have a
per-filesystem xfslogd too.
