2.6.17-rc2 on powerpc

Summary of failure:
        A bad inode was created that makes xfs stop on change attempts.
        xfs_repair cannot repair it.
        The creation most likely happened when running 2.6.17-rc2 on ppc.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt recommended to report this to lkml and xfs maintainers.
Attached my detailed report, 
I have the 3 GByte partition copied as file and thus can do experiments
or send part to someone, if I get detailed instructions.

Please copy me on relevant replies, I am not subscribed to the list.
