I will try that out for sure on my 32bit build... So when I have the
time and it works well, I can provide you a 32bit kernel build with that
patched module.

I you do not like to wait, her is a full kernel Compile HowTo, which should 
answer all questions: 
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/

ubuntu documentation on this issue is here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile

In short and easy:
1. You need some tools to compile, which ones is explained in the docs I linked.
2. You need kernel Sources for the kernel you like to build. Stable kernel 
sources can be downloaded via apt-get. mainline Builds with sources can be 
found here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
3. You need to apply the patches to the kernel you like to recompile. You can 
do that manually by reading the patch file. It gives a path/name of a file in 
the kernel package and lines to add to that file (marked with ++) and lines to 
be deleted (marked with --). Do the changes.
4. Build the kernel with the patched module from source.
5. Restart with the newly compiled kernel.

Hopefully this gives you an overview. There are Forums which can answer your 
questions better, this is for bugtracking ;)
Have Fun!
