Apropos, looking at my annotations from a while back, as I was 
creating/modifying my hack of reiser4 for 5.15 LTS patch, I noticed that 
your reiser4 for 5.16 patch does not apply cleanly to 5.15 *because* 
'memory folios' were introduced with commit 
49f8275c7d9247cf1dd4440fc8162f784252c849 during the transition from 5.15 
to 5.16, Ed, i.e., 'memory folios' were present *already* in 5.16.
