If it is still an issue you want to fix, you may need to resend the patch periodically. It doesn't look like you got any response at all. LKML gets hundreds of messages every day. When I used to read it I had a set of search filters to prioritize it. Anything I didn't get to I simply marked Read. There's no way to catch everything on there. Maybe get it passed through by someone who is in Linus's email filters. Although it's been a year and you probably don't care anymore. :)
