Well, it doesn't fit with the 2.4.23 xfs patches applied.
I was all stunned as to why this was building successfully, when it was
too large with my test builds.  Then I realized that you pulled XFS out.

Whether this was intentional, I don't know, but XFS wasn't merged into
mainline until sometime after the 2.4.23 release, so maybe the intention
was to run without xfs until 2.4.24?  (which will probably have us run
into the space constraint again)
