Sorry, I didn't file a bug, I originally just submitted the patch to
the mailing list at the same time I submitted it upstream.  The patch
has been upstreamed and will be in 3.4.  I didn't 'Cc: stable' when I
upstreamed the patch, so I took care of that last night.  The patch
is queued for the next 3.0 and 3.3 stable releases[1][2], and 3.2 should
be forthcoming.

If I understand correctly, the patch will automatically trickle down to the
12.04 kernel once 3.2.19 is released?  In that case, feel free to either
apply the patch now or wait until then.  I can also file a bug if necessary.

Thanks,
Matt
