I'm not quite sure whats wrong with the original here, but I'm currently
working upon a patch to remove the lock_dlm module (the lock_nolock
module is already gone) by merging it into the core of GFS2. So that
this module loading code will be disappearing very shortly.

So on that basis, I don't feel that its worth applying this patch at the
moment anyway,

Steve.
