Great, thanks for the testing, the set of patches you tested is correct. (I think there is one minor anomaly in your patch backport, which has no effect on the validity of your testing: you've probably ended up with two separate calls to set_page_dirty in your follow_page, because that moved between 2.6.5 and 2.6.13. It doesn't matter, but you might want to tidy that up one way or the other if you're passing your patch on further.)
