I'm also not capable of doing the analysis requested, but I want to
add a link for the the fact that Canonical has applied the patch to
the kernels shipped in Ubuntu, and up to now there have been no
reports of problems:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1208740

It was applied in Saucy on Sept. 11th. Ported to the previous Ubuntu
versions on Oct. 24th through the "proposed" mechanism (only reaches a
portion of the users).  Released in the official kernels on Nov. 8th.

Since a few days, then, everyone running an updated Ubuntu system,
regardless of the specific version, should have this patch.
