You don't need to patch Linux at all. In fact for silly things like this
I would recommend against it :)

If the workaround doesn't go into the kernel, everybody with affected
hardware has to individually find out about the bug (probably by experiencing
an annoying keyboardless boot) and fix it himself.

That's one of the reasons why this should go into a bootwrapper.
