As the 2.6.8 kernel is the stable/sarge kernel, this is highly unlikely, but
there may be a chance for the etch/sid kernels (the upcoming 2.6.14 probably),
and there will be backports of those to sarge.

So, what is this patch good for, whatever is a 4g4g, and why has it not made
it upstream ? 

Also, could you get either the patch itself or an url to it, and file a
propoer bug report against the linux-2.6 package ?
