Well, when 2.6.12 is out, that's what we'll do. It's not out yet though.
There are patches against 2.6.12-rc6 online. The basic policy is that
patches are generated against the latest released Linus kernel,
including pre/rc variants.

That said, ocfs2 makes fairly localized changes. The current patch will
apply to all 2.6.12-pre/rc and 2.6.11. The only source of potential
conflicts are the fs Kconfig, Makefile, and documentation index files,
which are trivially resolvable by hand.
