Not really.
It was observer on the dm-devel list that the patch isn't quite perfect.
There are possible, though rare, cases where it is not sufficient.  So I
suspect it will be revised and re-submitted.  So it might go upstream in a
week or so, and then into -stable in due course, but it is really up to the
dm developers.
