This article has info on what the new limitations are: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/5/218 I heard that the patch is fairly large, so backpatching it might be some work, but the article above I think refers to a message from the person who submitted the patch, which I think will let you search for the patch if you want to try that.
