Personally, I would not use xfs on Linux ... maybe take a look here:

 

http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20060814

 

And see what several debain devel's say about XFS.

 

RedHat says it is not stable enough to use in RHEL.

 

I don't think everyone can be wrong.

 

If you really want to use it, you can use the module you referenced

above and our kernel.  The standard RHEL kernel will not compile w/

anything except 4k stacks (that is how the CentOS kernel is released

too) ... so if you want to do that, you'll need to figure it out.
