I would not even worry about trying to put /boot on xfs, jfs,
reiserfs, or any other journaling filesystems.  I don't even use ext3
for it because the journal takes up such a large amount of space it
can be a problem.  Even when using a large /boot of say 512MB this is
tiny and journaling is not needed.  Also /boot cannot be on an LVM
partition.  I always use a large 512MB ext2 /boot partition.
