openSUSE 11.0 Beta2 on my computer was upgraded today to kernel version 
2.6.25.3-2 -- which is the kernel the OP is talking about.

I compiled the nVidia driver beta 178-03 without a hitch today with this 
kernel and it works fine (well, I have 3D, but the fps are lousy as per 
glxgears: ~650 instead of ~3900fps).

The patch you are talking about appears to be concerned with kernel 
2.6.26 and not the x.25.3-2 being talked about above.

Ciao.
