Appart from my general feeling that no one should use Reiser FS,
this seems perfectly reasonable. I have used split-config to 
generate updated configs and attached the patches. Hopefully
the other kernel team people don't object to this, in which case
I'll put it in the tree.

default.patch

   This is basically what happens if you run split-config
   and then exit menuconfig without making any changes.
   In a nutshell, cleaning up inconsistencies in the configs.

reiser.patch

   This is the result of turning the options above on
   in the 386 flavour of i386 and then asking for
   them to be applied globally. This seems to have worked,
   noting that arm, powerpc/noconfig.apus and s390
   don't have CONFIG_REISERFS_FS enabled at all.
   This seems reasonable, except fhr the s390 bit,
   I'm not sure about that.

Also I noticed that there seems to be a lot off room
for unifing the fs config across all arches and flavours.
I'm happy to make this happen if there are no objections.


Oh, and my patches are against branches/dist/sid/kernel/linux-2.6/
Waldi seems to have been rearanging SVN again.
