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.
