Yes, use xfs on 32-bit systems with caution because xfs has problems
with 4K stack size (x86_64 uses 8k stacks). This is one main reason
why upstream does not support it.

Another note is that, if you determined to go for xfs on 32-bit, you
can just build the xfs module instead of the whole kernel.
