Wait a moment:
1) That is a patch only for the UML kernel (no host-skas).
2) So, when you apply it, since it's for UML, you must not do:
  make menuconfig
but
  make menuconfig ARCH=um
where ARCH=um means "don't configure for the host but for the guest kernel". 
Also follow the "compiling it" link on the left bar on the Uml main site and 
read instructions carefully.

IIRC you won't be able to compile a host kernel with only that patch.
3) If you follow point 2, you will see the /proc/mm option under "UML-specific 
options". However that's not what you need.

You must apply those in order and they are for the UML kernel.

I don't want to repeat myself, but I do

"1) Use Ingo's combo only for the host kernel (since the UML part for itself 
is out-of-date)."

You must currently use that patch on a vanilla kernel tree to get host-skas.
Remember to use two separate kernel trees - one for the host (with Ingo's 
combo) and one for the guest (with the two patches above from me).
For the host kernel (after applying Ingo's combo), you can find /proc/mm under 
"Processor type and features".
