The last 3.14.x release had a bunch of these patches already in them,
with more to come in future releases, so yes, 3.14.x is going to benefit
from it, and you didn't even notice :)

But 3.10 will probably not, it's been just too long for that kernel
release, sorry, major mm changes like this isn't something I'm willing
to do at this point in time.

Hope this helps,
