XFS in the host, or XFS in the UML instance?  On the host, its a
non-issue.  All of my UML servers are XFS filesystems.  The XFS kernel
patches and the UML SKAS3 patch do not conflict in any way, and coexist
without any problems (one of my UML servers has been up for 175 days).

I've never bothered making the UML filesystems XFS, simply because
building a UML instance is timeconsuming enough without having to bring
XFS into the picture.  I just go with ext2 in most cases, because its
faster, and fscking a UML filesystem is fairly trivial.
