Agreed, please don't post fstests output in the commit message.

A couple of revisions ago I specifically asked Gustavo to create these
'silly' sizeof helpers to clean up...

...these even uglier multiline statements. I was also going to ask for
these kmem cache users to get cleaned up. I'd much rather look at:
xfs_efi_zone = kmem_cache_create("xfs_efi_item",
sizeof_xfs_efi(XFS_EFI_MAX_FAST_EXTENTS), 0);
if (!xfs_efi_zone)
goto the_drop_zone;
even if it means another static inline.
