I don't know where it's at, but where things stand is that it is
needed, but when combined with the patch which at least uncovered the
fact that it's needed, the two aren't playing well together according
to your test result.  Given both patches are already in kernels
upstream, and presumably Thomas's patch will eventually wander to
stable to fix them up, there might be some maintainer interest.
