How to find the kernel patch level that has a specific patch

I'm interested in the patch "mm: report the pagesize backing a VMA in /proc/pid/smaps" as seen at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.28-git10.log
The base filename of that URL implies the patch is included in kernel 2.6.28. But according to
http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Kernel-Log-What-s-new-in-2-6-29-Part-8-Faster-start-up-and-other-behind-the-scenes-changes-740591.html
it's actually in 2.6.29.

I opened each of the 2.6.28.* and 2.6.29.* changelogs at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/
and searched for that patch but didn't find it. What's the correct way to identify the kernel patch level that includes this patch?
