I get compile error when builing ext4 patch queue with
iget-stop-ext4-from-using-iget-and-read_inode-try.patch applied, against
2.6.24-git14.

It seems iget-stop-ext4-from-using-iget-and-read_inode-try.patch depends
on patches:  
[PATCH 01/31] Add an ERR_CAST() macro to complement ERR_PTR and co.
[PATCH 03/32] IGET: Introduce a function to register iget failure
