None of the changes in that series affect kdb. There have been some significant changes to page I/O handling in 2.4.6-pre[12] which are reflected in the XFS CVS tree. -ac13 is still using the old page_launder() code which is not as clean. In addition kdb for Linus's and AC's trees has diverged quite a bit because of the console and NMI cleanup in -ac. Fitting XFS from CVS into -ac13 will be very nasty, you might want to wait until AC syncs to Linus's kernel or Linus takes some of the -ac changes.
