Yeah, I already found that -- it was the one reference which I just
mentioned. :-)  If you read the follow ups to that post it suggests that
it was meant to be in 2.2 kernels, someone took it out of 2.2.11 and it
was put back in almost immediately in a pre-patch... therefore you'd
expect it to be current in 2.2.13.  If all else fails then I might look
at that patch and see how it might apply to 2.2.13 or even try patching
2.2.11 although neither of these seem like ideal solutions.

Regards,

Christian.
