I used the reiser4-for-2.6 patches. Before the 2.6.12 patches were available I 
tried the -mm patches from reiser4-for-2.6 which applied cleanly. When 2.6.12 
recently I tried those with the same results. I did not try the -mm kernel 
sources because even if they worked flawlessly it would be no help to me. 
Suspend 2 is more important to me than reiser4. Shutdown in 30 seconds, 
startup in 30 seconds is more useful to me.
