Wim,

The patch description on Metalink says:

	DIRECT IO SUPPORT ON EXT2 FILESYSTEM

Which wasn't quite what I was expecting.

yes Manish figured out that it's a bug in rhel3 insmod. we asked red hat
to update modutils 
in the meantime you could change load_ocfs to do a insmod -f
that shoudl work, the actual ABI has not changed it's just insmod that
fails the check

look for INSMOD="$INSMOD $MODULE"
and just change it to
INSMOD="$INSMOD -f $MODULE"

also - for async io ;  p2448994_9204_LINUX.zip is the patch to apply for
oracle (this is metalink ARU patch number). after addign the patch and
relinking oraclewith  async_on, add 
filesystemio_options="SetAll" to init.ora
