for now, reiser4 is only supported on x86 due to the introduction of
the new system call reiser4. I guess, namesys.com developers did not
implement it on other arches. There are some changes to arch specific
kernel code and I do not know if porting it is trivial.
Anyway, reiser4 is still considered experimental, even though it is in
stabilization phase or so.
