AFAIK, patches aren't normally part of a kernel release...those are up
to your distro.

So, it sounds like some distros are including this in their patchsets
they apply, but I see no mention of this issue in any of the changelogs
yet for mainline kernel releases.  This is one aspect of this bug
tracking system I find frustrating...I don't see a link from the bug
pointing to the release it is fixed in, and vice versa.  The bug
tracking and release systems are not tied together as best I can tell.

In order to patch my distro, I had to recompile from source, and hand-
create a patch using the edits in the last attachment in this thread.
My biggest hassle was the fact that I have a slow and flaky internet
connection, and git is just a pile o' crap when it comes to dealing with
that (no download resume support...).  I opted to download the source
manually, then hack the MAKEPKG for Arch to skip the whole process.  I
could have just directly hand-edited the source at that point, but still
opted to just create a patch file, and edited MAKEPKG to pull in my
custom file.

You then have to add it to your boot loader, etc., just like any other
kernel build.
