Has a bunch of patches for various kernel versions but it does not have the 
latest patches.  In general you should use the newest version of the kernel 
and the patch set.

Starting with version 2.6.32 but you will needed additional patches for this 
to work.

Yes.  But the patches needed for 2.6.32 are not yet posted there.  To find 
those patches search this list.  Also you should review the posts to this list 
related to the most recent versions of the kernel.
