That's right, although there were also some merge conflicts involved.
He asked me to resubmit them against -mm, but I've not had time to do
it yet, sorry. I'm in my last couple of weeks at my current job and
I'm very busy getting everything finished off there. After that I
hope to be focusing full-time on finishing off the ext3/4
no-replay-on-R/O-mount work. Assuming I can figure out a way to make
it work cleanly, that is :)

Anyway, apologies again for not following up on those patches. I'll
try and get the jbd versions done against -mm this weekend, if no-one
beats me to it.

Cheers,
Duane.
