Not answering the main question, but I would guess that this module is 
disabled for the same reason that XFS is -- support.  Anything Red Hat 
distributes in RHEL they must support at a high level.  They decided not 
to spend resources supporting XFS, and it looks like reiserfs is in the 
same boat.
