for what its worth, MSC.Linux supports it on IA32 and IA64 :-)

In my opinion the non-inclosure in the mainline kernel is the most
important reason not to use XFS (or any other FS). Which in turn
massively reduces the tester base. It is a shame, because for some type
of applications it performs great, or better than anything else.
