A change to the patch like this would make this work for us too:

replacing:
-obj-$(CONFIG_QUOTA) += dquot.o
+obj-$(CONFIG_QUOTA) += dquot.o quota.o

with just:
+obj-$(CONFIG_QUOTACTL) += quota.o

Needs to be fleshed out a little bit, of course - both CONFIG_QUOTA
and CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA (from the XFS patches) would need fs/Config.in
changes to add the new $CONFIG_QUOTACTL dependency, but that should
just about do the trick I think.

cheers.
