Here's a quick patch I just made for the resier4-for-2.6.36 patch to
compile against the 2.6.37 sources. To use, apply
resier4-for-2.6.36.patch to the 2.6.37 kernel sources (ignoring the
one rejected chunk which just adds a comment at the end of
fs/fs-writeback.c) then apply this patch. My patch is a revert of
766f9164193f6dda1497bbf3861060198421fb92 along with three very small
one-liner changes to fix compilation issues; I haven't had a chance to
test it beyond building the kernel itself, and won't until after I'm
off work tonight. I also make no claims as to the correctness of my
patch since it is my first venture into the reiser4 and linux fs code.
Cheers,
Kaelyn
