I know this is not a direct answer, but have you already tried the
quantal and precise backport kernels?

The snag is that, AFAIK, no released version of Ubuntu contains 3.9
yet, so there is nothing to backport it /from/ IYSWIM.

You could compile your own, of course. Or wait 3 months until 13.10
comes out, when there should be a saucy backport kernel available,
which will be version 3.10 or 3.11.
