Here's the patch for the devmapper patch. Navigate to whatever directory
contains "linux-2.4.19-devmapper-ioctl.patch" on your system (likely
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/device-mapper). Uudecode and unzip the patch
attached (inline) - you will then want to patch your devmapper patch file by
running:

"patch -p0 < linux-2.4.19-devmapper-ioctl-patch.patch"

Make a copy of your linux-2.4.19-devmapper-ioctl.patch first so you can do a
before and after diff - the net result should be the deletion of several
lines following "BH_Inode" and the changing of a few line count numbers
above to compensate.

Now both devmapper and the XFS patches will apply cleanly. Do the XFS
patches first.
