Yes. This is not Debian stable. ;-)

However (in case you or whoever wrote the patch didn't do that yet), you are 
supposed to send the patch upstream first, and once it gets accepted upstream, 
you can file a bug requesting a backport. In the particular case of the kernel, 
however, the easiest way to get your patch in is probably to ask for inclusion 
in the upstream stable branches (currently 2.6.18.x and 2.6.19.x), so it will 
get into Fedora as soon as Dave Jones pulls a new upstream release from that 
branch (and he does regularly - Fedora even gets updates like 2.6.18->2.6.19, 
however in this case 2.6.19 is apparently pretty disruptive, so it's still on 
2.6.18.x for now).
