I'm quite confident that there's no way a patch like this would ever be considered for a bugfix release like 2.6.16.1. It's far too big and intrusive, and, honestly, not severe enough to justify the risk.

It'll either squeek into 2.6.16, or be deferred until 2.6.17.

Looks to me like it actually did go into the 2.6.16 stream.
