It's been in the Fedora kernel since it got merged upstream.

It doesn't get loaded by default thought, even on systems which support it.
You could create a file, /etc/sysconfig/modules/sumthinorother.modules,
containing something like:
---
#!/bin/sh
for i in hdaps; do
/sbin/modprobe $i >/dev/null 2>&1
done
---
That should get it loaded on boot
