Okay. Since you added that line (man-pages commit ae848b1d80), I'm fine
removing it. Was it a mistake? The commit message of that commit is a
bit unrelated to Q_XQUOTARM, isn't it?
Yes.
Well, that commit fixed Q_XQUOTARM quotactl. Previously it was supported
but it was buggy and not actually doing the desired functionality in some
cases. So the description kind of make sense but it is not quite accurate -
maybe we should just move the note to NOTES section?

Maybe a better fix would be to replace the kernel version and the commit
hash when it was really added?
Yes, but I can't find this commit hash and it seems been supported since 
long time ago.
Yeah, AFAIK Q_XQUOTARM is there in principle since XFS was introduced in
the linux kernel so around 2001. No point of mentioning that in the manpage
IMO.
