Done.

I had to look twice at that patch going "why does it complain about
the xfs flags thing" until I realized it was due to XBF_UNMAPPED being
(1 <<31) and the compiler then seeing explicit negative values being
assigned.

We have a lot of "int flags" in various places, very much not just
xfs, and yeah, we should probably try to clean them up.

But 99% of the time it's just not worth the noise.

And xfs only hit it because you guys literally used up the whole 'int'
for it, normally the compiler won't make a peep about it.
