These patch you linked to is already part of kernel 2.6.39, what exactly are you requesting here?
I havent seen it in the kernel used namily however. figured scripts to emerge it would be handy. I've tried to setup sabayon , a minor variant , of Gentoo, it will use emerge etc . however they tend to use a diffrent stock kernel tree. VMware install of Sabayon works , installing to Notebook due to hardware and drivers it crashes , but the gentoo live cd works (USB 3 Fresco crashes thier kernel, emerge weeks of ....work too.... get... notebook.....up.... if the driver changes it'd be handy to have it as a fresh package, reguarless of the tree , if not included in a vanilla or otherwise slap it on, kernel. equo tends to be much faster , than emerge ,least for Base spec of a system. however once a base system is up I can use the Traditional emerge. it tends to cut the looping emerges . just did'nt see it in the 3.03 kernel to set. , if it's in thier i didnt see it. ? other name brands it is aliasied under ? ?? as A package , I should be abled to emerge a new kernel weither it has it or not , it will get it during emerge. less pain and fuss perhaps is what I was thinking.
I don't think we should add support in the minimal CDs for patches that haven't been added to gentoo-sources. As Chí-Thanh stated the patch is already on kernel-2.6.39, we may just need to determine if it's missing in the CD or what we need to do to enable it on boot.
I figgured a simple virtual package to a installed gentoo (or gentoo variant) or chroot Gentoo if patch applied & currrent , quit (Kernel-xyz##) (if missing) else get patch apply paches; as needed; done. via molecule (Sabayon {Gentoo}) or other , gentoo builders I or others can get ISO add to a patched iso if required unlikely. so far the i've used the emerge layman....... add Sabayon ,emerge req'd pkgs emerge equo , get curent list of pkgs , installed all req. via vmware i have a working copy , add shared directory , use molecule Sabayon-6-xfce build iso <<< package in gentoo-Kernel from curent live dvd , include set as boot default dump custom iso >>> problem solved. at my leasure. (I can make a custom live cd thats fixed to my hardware or other bleeding edge hardware) my main concern is to ensure kernels , have this included , maintaining this minor add on. emerge kernel-new... (or any kernel for that fact) < (ensure patches applied) Gentoo, Gentoo > install /usr/src/linux(new version) < Simular to nvida ,alsa,kernel firmware packages , ensure,upgrade kernel modules if req. genkernel -all ({would} auto-selects this once installed.) add build these modules as default. add to the module loader scripts. maily wanted a package for , installed systems , to ease maintinace or , on emerge or genkernel the patches are installed as modules or modules-updater scripts put this out as needed.
