<scratches his head> The one I see is from V3, which was: "but no actual users.". There is code in zcache (drivers/staging/zcache), and naturally the Xen one that utilize this API (part of the cleancache API). I am probably missing other ones?
If you meant by "users" real human, there are also reports of folks using it in Gentoo/SLES, and Oracle's own distro of course. Don't know what the development version of Gentoo/SLES has right now.

Nothing in API changed since the last posting: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/3/383 and linux-next had been working with this patchset.
(you might better using http://archive.eqmx.net/btrfs/Sep10/index.html#msg4439) to see the thread.
It probably would have been better to repost this "for 2.6.39 review" but since Andrew Morton put this patchset in his branch it seemed like it wasn't necessary.
