A linux-patch-lustre.deb is a given for me. We do compile custom
kernels with a few other patches locally so I will always need the
patch.
I'm not sure lustre modules for the stock (lustre unpatched) kernels
are of much use though. Have you tried a patchless lustre setup? I've
seen a few mails about it on the lustre ML but what I saw from
skimming over them the performance and stability isn't the best.
