It will certainly be more than a few days. We release kernels on a
3-week cycle to allow time for testing and verifications, only in
extreme cases to we rush fixes out faster than that (and just a few days
is difficult in any case).

It looks like we're currently on week 2 of the current cycle. The patch
will get included in the next cycle, which would release about 4 weeks
from now.
