No.
I have mailed Marcello Tosatti asking what I need to do for my changes to
be included but he hasn't sent any reply.
On the upside, when I commplained about not getting my changes into the
kernel the other day and copied it to the LKML, Peter Anvin suggested I
submit my patches for inclusion in 2.6. He sounded quite positive and I'm
currently porting the changes. You may have seen the recent discussion.
