You mean xfs_ioc_bulkstat_compat() -> native xfs_bulkstat() -> native
xfs_bulkstat_one() -> a compat output formatter, so a
pointer-to-function passed to pointer-to-function? ;) I could (ab)use
the void *private_data arg which xfs_bulkstat passes unmodified to the
formatter; xfs_bulkstat_one() doesn't make use of it atm. I'll try it
and post the result in a while.
