Oh, I see. I forgot about the changelogs. I'd send out version 5
now, but I'm not sure what kernel version to make the patch against.
2.6.23-rc4 is on kernel.org and I don't see any git snapshots.
Additionally I never could tell what git tree was the 'mainline' as it
isn't labeled with such a keyword (at least in the list of git trees I
saw).
I suspect you wait for 2.5.23 release, or send it to AKPM for inclusion
in an "-mm" kernel. That's probably desirable, anyway.

Gentoo's mm-sources is version 2.6.23-rc3-mm1, which I'd guess is
close enough for an area like this. Given that I didn't need to make
any changes to the patch should I just submit it to the mm for testing
without rebooting in to an mm-sources kernel? I need to schedule when
I do that so it would take me overnight to do so.

Yes, I think that you can go ahead with that, but it's up to the
subsystem maintainers where/when it goes from there.
