Yes, you should learn how to build a kernel and a patched module. There are a few good ways. I'll give some brief instructions later.

You're testing 3.15 and 3.16, so the above statement doesn't fit at all.

No, r592 developer has to submit the fix to the upstream at first. This is the golden rule. In general, we take *only* the upstream fix (or the patch that is promised to upstream) to openSUSE kernels.

If there is a problem of upstreaming, put me in Cc in chain, so that I can assist for it.
