That seems to depend. I recently patched 2.4.2-SuSE (not famous for being a
vanilla kernel, and containing LVM and Reiserfs) with the 2.4.2 XFS patch,
and just got 1 reject in a Makefile which I could safely ignore because the
SuSE kernel already contained that patch. And guess what: XFS and Reiserfs
work nicely together with LVM on the same machine!
