Well it definitely should be applied from 3.2.y up to 3.5-rc6, but it 
won't cleanly apply to 3.2.y.  I've had a quick look and there seems to 
be some commits in precise that aren't in 3.2.y, namely:

98acd7c827321549d2e56adc6b801
	UBUNTU: SAUCE: eCryptfs: Improve statfs reportingc8268fba081
	
0bf24acb9f571c152a56155c38c2aab6608f27c0
	eCryptfs: Initialize empty lower files when opening them

This particular patch won't apply cleanly unless 
0bf24acb9f571c152a56155c38c2aab6608f27c0 from Precise is applied first.

Hope that helps.

Colin
