I didn't even get around to upgrade to 7.1 yet.
Can 7.2 at least handle upgrades of systems with newer reiserfs 
versions now?

AFAIK the V4L interface only changed in 2.4.5 and in some AC and 
pre-patches of course.
Since I don't want to start having tons of ifdefs for each pre-patch 
and AC patch I'll only adjust to such changes at a real 2.4.x release.
