Thanks for the patch!

Unfortunately, the patch is incomplete for the following reasons:
 - it is simply a patch and does not update the packaging that is suitable for SRU. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for details on how to get your patch sponsored
 - performing 'quilt pop -a' then adding 04-quantal-module-backport.patch to debian/patches and updating the debian/patches/series file to apply it, then using 'quilt push -a' does not apply:

Unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors for now. Please feel free to update the patch and resubscribe ubuntu-sponsors after attaching a debdiff (or full merge request that updates the packaging) that is tested on both the precise 3.2 kernel and its enablement kernels. Thanks again!
