I decided to try it because of this.  My test machine was a Compaq 
Presario 12XL325, PIII-650, RedHat 8.0 with updates.  The cardbus bridge 
is listed as a TI PCI1410 controller.  I've been doing daily bk pulls and 
compiles on this machine for some time with no problems noted on the 
resulting kernel.  On the cardbus interface I have an SMC wireless NIC as 
modules.  

I downloaded the mm-6 patch and a pristine 2.5.64 tarball.  After applying 
the patch I compiled with the standard configuration I've been using all 
along.  No problems were noted during the compile cycle.  During bootup 
the system locked up at the point where it did a modprobe uhci-hcd for the 
USB controller.  Nothing of interest was noted in the log.  I rebooted 
with nousb in the command line and got a good boot.  After working with 
this kernel for awhile I don't see anything out of the ordainary except 
that on a 2.5.64-bk kernel I get 330 Kbytes per second download speed 
whereas with mm6 I get 280 Kbytes per second.  Several runs show this is 
fairly consistent, with results within one or two percent.
