I know this is a bit late in arriving, but I've found that with my Linux if I mount the partition with type VFAT, then I can use my FAT32 partition straight away. I don't know if this helps at all, but I haven't had to get any patches that I know of. I'm running a Slackware distribution, kernel version 2.0.30 if that helps at all.
