Gah! That's pretty nasty. It is in Rob's for-next branch, but it hasn't
been marked for backporting to stable. Best thing to do here is for
either you or Rob to repost the patch to stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and
include the commit id from Rob's tree. It's not upstream yet, but it
will be soon.

How far back in kernel releases do you want the patch backported to?
