A lot of the OCF patches are already integrated into the 1.0 branch.
I don't currently use it though so I really can't comment on its stability
or its functionality.

At some point any needed patches for 1.0 will be part of OCF,  but I don't
think it will be any time soon unless someone else contributes them ;-)

What you want is the 2.6.33 only portion of the patch and the latest OCF
files.

If you do:

	make patch
	cat patches/linux-2.6.38-ocf.patch ocf-linux-base.patch > my-kernel.patch

Then use my-kernel.patch to patch your 2.6.32 kernel.  If you have any
problems with 2.6.32 let me know and I can go back and generate a specific
2.6.32 patch.

Cheers,
