I also checked the Centos 5 kernel (2.6.18-8.x). The patch you
referred to will not work there either. However, I saw a test kernel
available from upstream that already has that fix applied.  So, there
is some good chance that CentOS 5.1 will have it.  Given the fact you
need it by early September, this may not work out either.
