I guess I did misunderstand, thanks for the correction!  So, XFS_IOC_FREEZE and THAW still
exist in the user space headers?  So applications that use them don't have to change at all?

I plead lack of coffee for the previous comment.  Existing binaries will still work with the
changes made is your point.  And that's why the compatibility of the argument value needs to
be maintained.
