Note that xfs/linux is developed on Sparc. I have had no opportunity
to test it on other architectures. This means that I have no chance to
get those GPFs that are caused by kernel and userland being in
different segments. So, please, report GPFs. Please load your modules
with insmod -m also, and save the mapping info. It's so hard to trace
if you don't.
