Ingo, I apologize: I noticed your mail some weeks ago but I forgot it and 
I didn't dig the archives...

Actually, I posted a reiser4 patch for 2.6.21-rc1 friday but this 
announce never reached the list (I'm afraid the list is unmaintained 
now...).

A few minutes later, I sent another mail to offer a patch for 2.6.20 
(that one reached the list). I then realized that reiser4-for-2.6.21-rc1 
does apply cleanly on Linux 2.6.20.

So here is the announce I made friday:
<====================
Hello,

Please find my reiser4 patch for 2.6.21-rc1 at 
http://laurent.riffard.free.fr/reiser4/reiser4-for-2.6.21-rc1/
There is 45 patches in this series. It should include all the reiser4 
for linux-mm stuff. Cryptocompress plugin is untested.

First patch is the Reiser4 patch for kernel 2.6.18
(http://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4-for-2.6/2.6.18/reiser4-for-2.6.18-3.patch.gz),
updated to apply cleanly on top of 2.6.21-rc1 kernel.

The 13 following patches are either bug-fix from reiserfs mailing-list
or updates to compile cleanly against vanilla kernel.

The last 30 patches come from linux-mm.
