It's the same as previous, just with fixed header (to track it properly
in patchwork) , second patch adds some read optimisation, nothing what
should help here.

Anyway, I run several tests on 2.6.37-rc3+ and see no integrity
problems (using xfs,ext3 and ext4 over dmcrypt).

So please try to check which change causes these problems for you,
it can be something completely unrelated to these patches.

(If if anyone know how to trigger some corruption with btrfs/dmcrypt,
let me know I am not able to reproduce it either.)
