The patch is not in Linus's tree yet, right? That is a requirement to go into the -stable releases.
Also, it is not exactly obvious why a change for idr is needed. The "new" drm code in Fedora releases is understandable, but that is not code that is in the main 2.6.27-stable tree, right?
Also, please cc: the stable developers if you want them to pay attention to messages like this.
