Attached is a tarball of a set of xfsprogs patches to aid in testing
this patchset. I'm posting as a tarball because the core patches (e.g.,
the kernel patches) are obviously still in flux. The tarball includes
the following:

- general dependency backports
- core infrastructure backports (i.e., applicable patches from this v5
  sparse inode set)
- xfsprogs work for sparse inode support

The latter bits include support for mkfs, xfs_info, xfs_db and
xfs_repair, the fundamentals of all of which should work. Use the '-i
spalign' mkfs option to format a sparse inode enabled fs. E.g.:

	mkfs.xfs -m crc=1,finobt=1 -i spalign <dev>

Note that metadump is not yet supported. Failures from the associated
xfstests, etc. are expected. I'm not aware of anything else that is
missing support or otherwise broken, so any feedback along those lines
is appreciated.
