OK, since there was no opposition and there is still no explaination on
why this bug was donwgraded in the first place I'm upgrading it back to the 
initial severity. 

What's the best way forward on this issue? I'm a bit hesitant on just preparing
an NMU for the kernel, for obvious reasons. It would much prefer it, if a member
of the kernel team would take care of appling the patch.

Are the changes currently in SVN targeted at lenny or not? If it helps I could 
prepare
an NMU patch complete with changelog entry and everything.

There is only a small fraction of machines affected, so this is not RC.

I fail to find anything near this patch in upstream (Linus' tree), which
would be the first target. So please provide commit IDs along with
patches. If you want to force us to apply patches which does not follow
our guidelines, you have to ask CTTE.
