huh ? where did you looked at it ? i just found
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/Release-1.0.1/kernel_patches
which has 2.4.5 only.
That said, on the download page, you can read :
XFS patches are also available in Debian-unstable ("Sid")
which seem to be for the 2.4.5 kernel also, maintained by Ed Boraas.
The link to Mark Pinto's provided unofficial debian package's is broken
though.
