Hmm. Looking at your git branch (which was quite helpful to link to!) I
think for XFS we don't need to change the crc32c() calls, and the only
porting work that needs to be done is mirroring this Kconfig change?
And that doesn't even need to be done until someone wants to get rid of
CONFIG_LIBCRC32C, right?

Nit: Someone might want to
s/ext4_has_metadata_csum/ext4_has_feature_metadata_csum/ here to get rid
of the confusingly named trivial helper.
Otherwise this logic looks ok to me, so
