Nothing. And I don't care because the statistic is meaningless from
the point of view of tuning xfs_repair performance.

*nod*
We badly need to separate the buffer cache into per-AG caches
because most of the per-thread operations are isolated to a single
AG and so a global hash simply doesn't scale from a lock contention
or a table sizing point of view....
