Hello, This series contains patches to support incompat feature flags that were recently added to the XFS filesystem. This is needed because GRUB checks if the super block .sb_features_incompat field contains incompat feature flags that are not supported, and if that's the case it considers the SB invalid and fails to read any data.
Since having a XFS filesystem with the bigtime or needsrepair flag would lead to GRUB failing to access it, and due the fact that some distros are going to turn them on by default (i.e: in the mkfs.xfs tool) I think that these are 2.06 material. The series is just a collection of patches posted before separately in [0] and [1], with only changing issues that were pointed out in these patches. I'm posting them as a single patch-set for convenience and to indicate in the subject that the patches are meant to be included in the 2.06 release.
