Comment 12 for bug 1683184

I can now confirm that the patch provided in the https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101029 fixes my problem, i was finally able to patch and compile the source code for the kernel and was able to boot into the system without crashing. What is the process now to get this patch applied in Ubuntu? How long will it be until it is applied? Also how can i stay in the loop as i will wait to upgrade my main drive until this is in the ubuntu kernel?
