A number of patches against more recent kernels are at [1].  I
downloaded version 2.4.10-pre8.  It applied nicely (read: with a few
harmless offsets and the obvious failure for the EXTRAVERSION line in
the Makefile) against Benjamin Herrenschmidt's tree, the resulting
kernel tree compiled without problems, and I am currently exercising a
newly created XFS file system in a spare partition.

Right now, I have open ITPs for two packages, but when I finish those
and nobody beats me to it, I will package patches for -xfs and -benh
kernels.  This is *not* an ITP, so go for it yourself if you feel like
it.

Regards, Jens.
