Challenge accepted.  This was a good thing for me to do because I found
some opportunities to improve the XArray API.

Changes since yesterday:

 - Added XA_NO_TAG
 - Added 'max' parameters to xa_get_entries() and xa_get_tagged()
 - Changed the order of the arguments of xa_get_entries() and xa_get_tagged()
   to match the radix tree equivalents

You can see the patches on that (rebased) branch:

xfs: Convert mru cache to XArray
xfs: Convert xfs dquot to XArray
xfs: Convert pag_ici_root to XArray
xfs: Convert m_perag_tree to XArray

or did you want me to send them by email?
