OK, in that case this patch for 2.6.12 should work as well, because
all it does compared to the previous patch is to remove the now unused
high_prio_read variables. Can you confirm that it works?

With that patch for 2.6.12, the diff compared to 2.6.13 now looks like
below. Can you confirm that reverse applying this patch for 2.6.13
also works?
