Heh, I've tried it with the latest reiserfs and devfs patches. It was trivial. I remember that I got more rejects when I tried it some months ago. I was too intimidated then to take a look at the rejects :)
Ok, here's the solution to the problem. After patching both devfs and reiserfs into the kernel you get 1 reject file in fs/. Depending on which patch you apply first your line 21 in fs/Makefile will miss "devfs" or "reiserfs". Just add the missing one and you've done. I think this is too trivial for a patch so I didn't create one.
