I'd say go for it. Frank wanted me to do it on a branch because of some new features added in the XFS filesystem code that need the newer kernel. To be honest, I don't think we should be trying to support older XFS modules (or even XDD etc) from older kernels with a new kernel. They should be stamped with a kernel version and only work with that kernel version to avoid problems. Linux started out like this and now has very strict versioning of kernel modules with the installed kernel, and we should at least version ours too. Comments ? Alan.
