I think there's no need since in 2.6.33 (where your patch applies
without any offsets) it crashes in exactly the same way:

For 2.6.32, the differences were all in fs/aio.c, in 2
places: include file (obvious),

 static int io_submit_one(struct kioctx *ctx, struct iocb __user *user_iocb,
                          struct iocb *iocb, struct hlist_head *batch_hash)

in 2.6.32 it does not have the last 'batch_hash' parameter,
and the only caller of this routine in io_submit() down in
that file.  So the change is trivial and purely mechanical.

But it is not here yet.  I'm trying to dig further...
