Would that patch

Btrfs: fix casting error in scrub reada code

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-
btrfs.git;a=commit;h=a175423c831ea582c06784d1e172d2ce1d79923a

(sorry for line break. KMail insists on it even when I disable line breaks

that I tested above be something for stable?
