The exact changes are at http://penguinvm.princeton.edu/patches , and a
source RPM for 6.5.3 is also available at
http://linux.s390.org/download/ftp/SRPMS as postgresql-6.5.3-4.src.rpm.
The patches include some other stuff, too.

The patch you are referring to is a one-liner asm for the spinlock.

Again, these patches are against 6.5.3, thus far.
