Good news and so-so news.  The good news is I got the kernel patched.  
The so-so news is that I had to apply part of the patch manually since 
the patch didn't match up exactly.  It was just a few simple #define 
directives that belonged up at the top of include/fs.h in the source 
tree, so it should work.  However, I didn't want to start building 
things in the source tree and leave behind any binaries, so it may or 
may not work.  Let me know how it goes.  I'll email you privately with 
the link (I'm posting it on my personal server which has very limited 
bandwidth.)
