Reply to myself in case someone here is also interested : I tried RHEL 
5u4 Beta and the XFS filesystem is supported but the "xfsprogs" package 
(mkfs.xfs, xfs_growfs, xfs_admin, etc.) is missing.

Maybe it will be added in the final release of RHEL 5u4, if not it can 
be easily build from the sources 
(ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/cmd_tars/), all you need is GCC and the 
e2fsprogs-dev package for libuuid.
