Sure, you can get the whole patch as-is via the web interface.

This is the patch you want:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=093d282321daeb19c107e5f1f16d7f68484f3ade

You can get a .patch file containing all the fixes related to these
files by clicking on the 'patch' link at the top of the page:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=patch;h=093d282321daeb19c107e5f1f16d7f68484f3ade

Well, apart from enabling linked list debugging and SLUB debugging I
don't think any of those would be of much use.

Do you have any update on this? How did your testing go?
