There's nothing stopping you from adding that functionality to the kernel _you_ use. That doesn't mean you should expect Linus to accept patches that are relatively untested to the stable kernel. You can use the patch with your stable kernel and at the same time port it to the latest development kernel and hope it gets accepted in time for the next stable release.
It seems as if this is getting even easier now that people are working to shorten the development cycle.
