Please keep in mind that these appear as emails in a crowded inbox, so
the subject line can be a good place to put valuable context.

The patch is a little larger than ideal, but I don't think it should
cause problems.  If you'd like to test it, there's a patch against
the source package here:

 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=43;filename=ext3-ext4-avoid-nfsd-readdir-hash-collisions;att=1;bug=685407

And instructions for building just one flavor of the kernel are here:

Thanks,
Jonathan
