instead of ext3-avoid-triggering-ext3_error-on-bad-nfs-file-handle.patch
it makes more sense to include the revised patches from Neil:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/430323

It seems that these are not merged upstream, but my understanding was
that they were the best way to fix this. For RHEL4 we are going with
these two patches. 

Linus, any reason why they are not merged yet?
