It seems that this patch is included in the mainline 2.6.28 kernel.
Do you have a pointer to the git commit id in the 2.6.28 kernel that adds this feature?
So, I don't think this is so intrusive.
It all depends on what the patch does. The one that you pointed to above was intrusive to core code that all users run on their hardware, even ones without this feature on their hardware, so it can be seen as very intrusive to them.
It is useless to buy a good laptop, even one from a brand supporting Novell.
