any problem to use FC17 kernel in MacbookPro?

MacbookPro 6,2  EFI 64bit
use archboot 2012.04-2-x86_64 to install the system
pacman -Syu after install

problem:
vga switcheroo not shown in debugfs after update, double checked archboot kernel (3.3.3-1-ARCH), it's show, but buggy, both graphic card has a "+"
load module i915 and nouveau together will cause console crash, but the system is still running, it can run into X-window system. backlight can not be adjusted


question:
finally copy the FC17 kernel, it worked. remain problem is still can not adjust backlight via keyboard, but can do by echo ### > /sys/..../brightness
so, use the FC 17 kernel in an arch system is ok ?
and I found a lot of patches in FC17 kernel, will this patches go to upstream kernel ? or will arch do this patch also ?
