kernel.org down: finding kernel patch

Hi folks,

Anyone got any ideas how to find a patch which appeared on bugzilla.kernel.org just before kernel.org went down?

Specifically, I'm looking for a patch to the toshiba_acpi module that stops the backlight malfunctioning following a sleep (was kernel bug 21012).  Somebody posted a patch which allegedly worked around the issue, I made a note to try it out, and then bugzilla.kernel.org disappeared...

Suggestions gratefully received: About to start travelling and this sleep/backlight thing is going to be a PITA if I can't resolve it.  I've tried workarounds using toshset etc. from various distro forums without much satisfaction...

if you commented on that bugzilla, you should have a mail about this person's patch. why not mail him directly?

Also check the kernel tree on github to see if it was applied already, also lkml

Thanks very much for your speedy responses!

alas, the email is long-deleted...  I've followed up the other routes without success.  Drat.  Any other ideas?
