I don't use reiserfs - but having a quick look at the 2.6.9-22 kernel source ... It looks like RedHat patched the reiserfs source to change 'struct key' to 'struct reiserfs_key' (Patch2503) - I guess to prevent name conflicts with the 'Key management patches' (from the spec file). However, it looks like they missed a couple ... not surprising as they don't support reiserfs, so they don't hit this problem. The attached patch seems to allow it to compile - although not tested.
