well, looks like it went into 2.6.28 but unfortunately (for you,
anyway!) that kernel got skipped in F10.

The bug got closed as "it's upstream now" and usually upstream hits
fedora pretty quickly, but in this case, it didn't.

Having the bug assigned to Alan shortly before he left Red Hat probably
poked another hole in the process...

Hopefully 2.6.29 will hit F10 soon, or you could reopen the bug with a
"hey can we please get this into .27?"
