No, it's 1.0 ...
[ 0.000000] Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x0 [ 0.000000] Linux version 3.9.0-rc2-00113-gd60f039-dirty (mpfj@mpfj-nanobone) (gcc version 4.5.4 (Buildroot 2012.11) ) #141 Wed Mar 13 09:14:03 GMT 2013 [ 0.000000] CPU: ARMv7 Processor [413fc082] revision 2 (ARMv7), cr=10c53c7d [ 0.000000] CPU: PIPT / VIPT nonaliasing data cache, VIPT aliasing instruction cache [ 0.000000] Machine: Generic AM33XX (Flattened Device Tree), model: Newflow AM335x NanoBone [ 0.000000] Memory policy: ECC disabled, Data cache writeback [ 0.000000] CPU: All CPU(s) started in SVC mode.

The patch certainly didn't fix things (and possibly made things worse i.e. my nfs root kept dropping off even more).

I might track those down and test them.
