I was rather surprised that Alan did not mention ELRepo's kernel-ml. :-O
kernel-ml-2.6.35 does have the patch referenced here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/19/609
I should also note that kernel-ml is not for production use but it's
been quite stable and Alan has been doing a good job of keeping it up
to date. :-)
