You might be able to patch it in to the kernel source tree by hand, but I've never done it. There was a gfs patch to enable it to allocate files properly for newer kernels, such as 2.6.27.x. That was just to do a little kernel catchup in gfs1. On the other hand, GFS2 has been a part of the base kernel for a while now, although it's still not considered production ready. I think the version currently pulled into Linus's tree is pretty good. Steve Whitehouse's "nmw" git tree in kernel.org has the latest/greatest GFS2 and should be fairly stable, although it's a moving target.
