I've just tried to compile this module.
It successfully insmod'ed:

Feb 11 12:54:29 zigzag kernel: ptpatch2008: init, (c) 2008 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Feb 11 12:54:29 zigzag kernel: ptpatch2008: syscalls c02ea3c0
Feb 11 12:54:29 zigzag kernel: hooked sys_vmsplice

However exploit code from the top of 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=464953 still works:
