The patch came in as part of an upstream stable update, so there was not a specific lp bug addressed. It was supposed to fix some boot problems on 64bit (related to himap cleanup). I still need to understand things better to know whether this is just a quite bad side-effect or whether the change is plainly wrong for kernel versions before around 2.6.38.
