What commit it is?

I swear I saw it in 2.6.32-stable somewhere.  Is it this one (2.6.32.12=

commit 1871c6020d7308afb99127bba51f04548e7ca84e upstream

Currently when x86 emulator needs to access memory, page walk is done w=
ith
broadest permission possible, so if emulated instruction was executed
by userspace process it can still access kernel memory. Fix that by
providing correct memory access to page walker during emulation.
