These optionr were for Irix compatibility, probably for clustered XFS
clients in a heterogenous cluster which contained both Irix & Linux
machines, so that behavior would be consistent. That doesn't exist anymore
and it's no longer needed.

ikeep/noikeep was a workaround for old DMAPI code which is no longer
relevant.
attr2/noattr2 - is for controlling upgrade behaviour from fixed attribute
fork sizes in the inode (attr1) and dynamic attribute fork sizes (attr2).
mkfs has defaulted to setting attr2 since 2007, hence just about every
XFS filesystem out there in production right now uses attr2.

The V4 filesystem format contains known weaknesses in the on-disk format
that make metadata verification diffiult. In addition, the format does
not support dates past 2038 and will not be upgraded to do so. We
should start the process of retiring the old format to close off attack
surfaces and to encourage users to migrate onto V5.
Therefore, make XFS V4 support a configurable option. For the first
period it will be default Y in case some distributors want to withdraw
support early; for the second period it will be default N so that anyone
who wishes to continue support can do so; and after that, support will
be removed from the kernel. Dates for these events have been added to
the upstream kernel.
