It appears the patch in question was included upstream as of v2.6.25, thus only the Hardy 8.04 release is affected. Thus, I'm marking the actively developed linux task as Fix Released. I've opened a Hardy nomination for this patch to be considered for a Hardy SRU (stable release update). I'll submit this patch to the mailing list shortly. Thanks.
