I have a few questions:

  - According to fsys_reiser4.c, Hans Reiser has the copyright on this patch.
    Hans, did you assign copyright to the FSF in order to merge it upstream?

  - Older reiserfs is identified as "reiserfs" whereas the new one if
    "reiser4".  Any particular reason for the inconsistency?

  - The patch modifies stage2/ufs2.h, which has nothing to do with reiserfs.
    Your changes to ufs2.h look like portability improvements.  Is that it?
