NOTE: I haven't gotten XFS (the file system) to compile yet for it.
Removing the now conflicting definitions from the xfs header seems correct
to me. Something like adding
grep -q 'BH_Unwritten' %{kernel_src_path}/include/linux/buffer_head.h && \
sed -i '/^BUFFER_FNS.*unwritten/d' linux-2.6/xfs_linux.h
to %prep. It's hard to fix it with a patch without breaking builds for
the older kernels. An SRPM with this hack is
http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~wiesand/SL5/xfs-0.4-2.sl5.src.rpm
It builds and survives light testing with the new kernel.

I now have the newer ecryptfs-utils (and ecryptfs-utils-devel) in the testing
area.
There's a similar issue with cpuspeed. The new conflict doesn't work
because they missed that cpuspeed has epoch=1, but things may still break
if that isn't updated along with the kernel. It probably only affects
AMD CPUs only.
Any ETA for 5.3? ;-)

You might have to do a "yum --enablerepo=sl-testing clean all" but it should
work now.
Thanks for testing
Troy
