Is it possible to have PPP multilink (CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK) enabled in the "Latest 2.6 Series" kernel or a future version?

Relevant documentation is here:
Documentation/networking/ppp_generic.txt

Thanks for your consideration.

Just out of random curiosity, why would one want PPP anything on a linode? I tend to associate PPP with modems and bad DSL providers.

I might have a pretty unique situation. I'd like PPP multilink for improved upload performance to my linode. I have redundant ISPs, but neither have good upstream, so I'd like to be able to join PPP-over-SSH links (one per provider) for much improved upload performance.
