bigphysarea support in 2.2.19 and 2.4.0 kernels

A question related to bigphysarea support in the native Linux
2.2.19 and 2.4.0 kernels.

I know there are patches for this support, but is it planned for
rolling into the kernel by default to support Dolphin SCI and
some of the NUMA Clustering adapters. I see it there for some
of the video adapters.

Is this planned for the kernel proper, or will it remain a patch?
At the rate the VM and mm subsystems tend to get updated, I am
wondering if there's a current version out for this.
