The last patch I could find is in linux-next's next-20110726 tag; looks
like it disappeared from Matthew's git tree afterwards, and thus not in
any subsequent linux-next tags.

commit fa7419eee713b989e2c268c7b06ec9a544a2b647
Author: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>
Date:   Sat Jul 16 23:31:01 2011 +1000

FYI, I'm using that on top of Linux 3.0 and 3.1-rc1 and it still works fine.
