mount_xfs question

Hi, all.

the device /dev/xfs0 is created only for message passing between arlad and
the lkm.  in the following command when starting arla,

/usr/arla/bin/mount_xfs /dev/xfs0 /afs

mount_xfs is really used to create the root vnode(?) and init mount point
for /afs in kernel so we can replace /dev/xfs0 with anything we
want as long as we create that device with the same major # used by the
lkm.  Is that correct?

Thanks,

Cheng
