I did ask Jeff for these patches.  I know it clutters up the source but it is 
relatively small and very easy to rip out at merge time.  Btrfs gains much 
more from broadening the testing base than it does from keeping a few bits 
pretty.

Hopefully this means there are people on SUSE 2.6.16 kernels interested in 
testing things?
