dir_nlink (bypassing the 32k subdirectory limit)

I have run into the 32k subdirectory limit. Some research makes it sound like the dir_nlink filesystem option will remove this limit, but I can't find any documentation on it. Is it available for ext3? If I must upgrade to ext4, how do I do that? And to do that do I need to get a more recent kernel? I run 9.04 stable the kernel is 2.6.18.8-linode19. Thanks, -Spot
