These patches that were referenced in the mail thread which you
replied against have already been integrated into the latest 2.6.27.X
series.

There is another batch of patches which is being queued for the stable
series, which I sent out last week. The for-stable branch and
for-stable-2.6.27 branches are for people to do a final round of
testing before I submit them to the stable series. At the moment,
they are only available via git, but usually after a week or so, I'll
send them out to stable@kernel.org, and then usually within a week or
so (unless Greg and Chris are travelling), a new stable series shows
up with the latest ext4 bug fixes.

If you really are interested in testing the latest pre-release stable
patches for 2.6.27 --- these are versus 2.6.27.20, they're small
enough that I'll include them here.
