What is the current outook for the xfs changes landing in the next
merge window?  I haven't been tracking the latest rounds of reviews
for the xfs atomic writes patchset.

If the xfs atomic writes patchset aren't going to land this window,
then we can land them as ext4 specific documentation, and when the xfs
patches land, we can reorganize the documentation at that point.  Does
that make sense?
