Actually, reiser4 does not need porting for 3.17 -> 3.18, there's just
a single merge conflict. I've been running 3.18 with reiser4 this way
all time since its release...

to Edward: maybe you could release reiser4-for-3.18 just with that merge
conflict fixed?

P. S.: I haven't yet tested your precise discard implementation. I've
been pretty busy with the exam session (which has just ended, so I'll
get to testing it in short time).

Congrats!
The first session in MIPT is really a survival test.
At least it was so in 198X..
