Hey Al,
 Due to a git stash screw up on my part, I've had this leftover WARN_ON
in my tree for the last couple months. (That screw-up might turn out to be
serendipitous if this is a real bug..)

Today I decided to change things up and beat up on xfs for a change, and
was able to trigger this again.

Is this check no longer valid, or am I triggering the same bug we were chased
down in nfs, but now in xfs ?  (None of the other detritus from that debugging
back in April made it, just those three lines above).

	Dave
