please don't use c++ comments in xfsprogs, we use /* comments */

What is this?

Jan, I'm just going to go back to the original patches posted in your V2 series,
and either give them Reviewed-by's, or send followup fix-up patches with a

Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx>: fixed up foo, bar, baz

tag and a Reviewed-by to go with it, I think that might be the fastest path to
finally getting this stuff merged.

Thanks,
-Eric
