Reiserfs changes

I've been wishing reiserfs had a data=ordered option for some time. It
should come in particularly handy on this not yet completely stable x86_64
(amd64) system, running 100% reiserfs. I've not had any serious issues,
but because reiserfs is a metadata journalling system not a data
journalling system, sometimes the file system cleanups upon reboot DO put
extraneous data into the file, from elsewhere. Putting sync in crontab to
execute every minute has helped significantly, however. I should also
mention that somewhere between 2.6.4 and 2.6.5rc2 (I missed 2.6.5rc1),
something DRAMATIC changed, and stability increased by an order of
magnitude. Before that, I was beginning to seriously question my decision
to go 64-bit, and wishing I was still running x86-32-bit, with its better
stability.
