I think we do not really need this patch. What is does is allowing to set color calibration mode as default setting for a print queue via the CUPS web interface. But this option should only be set when calibrating the printer, not permanently, so Mike Sweet is right that this is a per-job option. It makes much more sense to post feature requests for the print dialogs (GTK, KDE, ...) or even to let it only get supplied by color calibration apps when sending the jobs with the calibrartion pages.
The actual execution of the option happens completely in cups-filters, as the color correction based on the ICC profiles is done there.
