You should always check the networking -stable queue before asking
such questions:

	http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/?submitter=&state=*&q=&archive=

Every patch sitting there is queued up and will be submitted to -stable
at some time in the next week or two, or whenever I get around to vetting
and submitting -stable changes.

The patch you are asking about it in fact in there, and will be attended
to at an appropriate time.

Thanks.
