A couple of weeks ago it was mentioned that btrfs in the stand alone
tree would be patched to support 2.6.27 with older versions coming
after. Has anyone actually done these patches? I'd like to get btrfs
running on 2.6.26(Debian Lenny kernel) and if no one has done any code
towards it I'd be happy to do it.

It would definitely be appreciated.  For the most part this should just
be digging out the commits that dropped the compat code and adding them
back.

You just have to revert commit 9ca03b997f71787e345951e6267fbd8eba14d49f to 
compile btrfs for 2.6.27.
