Otherwise we can have the problem of bisects landing in the middle of the series and thinking that the feature is fully supported when it isn't. So it's fine to add the xfs_sb_version_hasfinobt() helper here and define the bit but don't add it to the supported mask until all the changes for the feature are complete.
