Many thanks for pointing this out! Strange enough, nobody seems to care. I have carefully read Ross Andersons report, and I'm more than concerned now. Because I'm not a kernel programmer, I can not see by myself what these patches will do to the Linux kernel at all, so I can only hope that Linus will not let them in if they can be misused to what Ross Anderson describes in his paper.
