No.

I don't know. What do you consider as urgent?  This fixes a bug where
the whci-hcd driver could sleep in atomic context.  But only when using
particular combinations of devices and drivers (e.g., the ub driver with
a mass storage device).

None of the affected drivers are important[1] so I would accept
postponing this to 2.6.32 if you think it appropriate.
