Maybe, because XFS seems to be important, is it possible to build xfs right after the kernel src build?
Is this far more longer than only build the kernel?
Assuming that you've set it up as a module rather than actually compiling it into the kernel itself, it should be a case of just doing:
cd $KERNEL_SOURCE_TREE make fs/xfs/xfs.ko mkdir /lib/modules/$KERNEL_VERSION/kernel/fs cp fs/xfs/xfs.ko /lib/modules/$KERNEL_VERSION/kernel/fs/xfs
which will build the XFS module and stick it in the right place. Note that all that does not include the XFS userspace tools...
Making kernel modules is a bit more involved than that. Please see:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules
if you really feel like building modules yourself.
