Which seems to have screwed up the formatting of the XFS code...

.. because this doesn't match any format I've ever seen in the

And these need fixing as well.
A further quick glance at the patch reveals that there are other
similar screwed up conversions as well.

I could go on, but there are so many examples of this in the patch
that I think that it needs to be toosed away and regenerated in a
way that doesn't trash the existing function parameter formatting.
