No it isn't yet:

Apply the patch (it applies cleanly against 2.6.1-ben1) and read
Documentation/laptop-mode.txt, it's explained there.
You can dowload version 7 from here:

http://www.liacs.nl/~bsamwel/laptop_mode/laptop-mode-2.6.1-7.patch
I've been using it since that day (10/01) without any problem at all
(I've been using it since version 4 of the patch). Other people have
reported it working fine for them on lkml.
If you have critical data on your hd, I would suggest to wait until the
"people who know the kernel" accept it as good (ie. it gets into
mainline).
