I'm sure there are other people using SLES that would also benefit
from such patches. I would encourage you to post any patches to this
mailing list.

Supporting multiple kernels is a lot of work. The old Dazuko 2.x code
did this. It was a mess, but it worked. For DazukoFS it was decided
that only the latest kernel at the time of the release would be
supported. If other versions should be supported, the idea was to
include patches in the release package to patch DazukoFS for other
versions.

The latest testing version (3.1.4-rc), which should be released soon,
includes several bugfixes and fairly major new features (such as mmap
write support).
