I would personally prefer if this XFS code could be merged into the 
CentOS Plus kernel. Having it as a separate RPM is a bit messy.

If anyone is interested, I've done this and it's available as a patch to 
the existing kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported.src.rpm via:

BTW: what is the significance of '106' in the unsupported kernel name?
