Patches are in 2.6.12-rc3 and thus included in the FC4/devel kernel that
should allow using reiserfs and SELinux together.  But I haven't tried
it myself.  You would also need to modify the policy configuration and
fixfiles to specify that SELinux should use xattrs on reiserfs; we are
waiting on 2.6.12 to make that change upstream.
