Gah! That's pretty nasty. It is in Rob's for-next branch, but it hasn't
been marked for backporting to stable. Best thing to do here is for
either you or Rob to repost the patch to [email protected] and
include the commit id from Rob's tree. It's not upstream yet, but it
will be soon.

How far back in kernel releases do you want the patch backported to?
