That's a Debian ABI number, this 3.2.0-3 (they can only use x.y-ABI
after wheezy is out, for compatibility/upgradability reasons). The
kernel version for that is probably 3.2.21 plus Debian patches.

This smells like another patch for the stable series coming up?
(Note that the cmpxchg fix is now queued for 3.2.27 and other
stable series so that way is definitely a possibility; the
Atari interrupt also seems to be queued… so we can really keep
using the Debian kernels, modulo hardware drivers – fixes for
these can probably go in via stable, and EtherN* backports,
once accepted in mainline, might go in via Debian directly,
if we can convince the maintainers.)
>Does it work if you update drivers/video/cirrusfb.c to the latest version?
Could be tried. Can you compile or cross-compile yourself? (For the
latter, I put the cross-toolchain into an APT repository.) Best is
probably to take the Debian source package, add a patch and just
build one kernel flavour. (I did so when the cmpxchg fix came up.)
