There is a custom kernel page on the wiki:

Of course, building a module for the existing kernel is always preferable, and could be made into an extension for all to use.

I didn't make the patch, but I am very sure it won't apply to 2.6.31 cleanly.

The ftp link still works for me. Anyhow the available patch basically contains two things, the TC boot logo and crypto home support. The boot logo is just "cosmetic" and in case you do not intend to use cryptohome, the patch is not required.
