Stupid question, but what amount of locking does XFS in FreeBSD still
need?  I'm one of the maintainer of XFS on Linux, and while I know
FreeBSD imported a really old version compared to the current one the
codebases on IRIX and later Linux never relied on any global Giant-style
locking.  So if there is anything to fix it would be the in the small
bits of FreeBSD-specific code.
