Hello,
Some minor notes...

Our patch is not in an official Tor release yet, so you will need to use an unofficial git branch:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/16052#comment:18
The configuration parameters are now in master (aka 0.2.7.1-alpha-dev). It's likely that a 0.2.6.x backport will happen, but feedback would play an instrumental part in ensuring that happens (either as a reply, or by commenting on the trac ticket).
Next, an operator who wants to deploy this experimental fix, should first figure out how many simultaneous TCP connections a normal client would establish. For example, an IRC server would probably not need more than 1 simultaneous connection per user. A web server, depending on the use, might need something between 6 to 12 (?) simultaneous connections.
Per discussion with the Tor Browser developers, I have been told that 6 is the correct number for http content, and that if there are any more streams associated with a Tor Browser user accessing a site, it would be a Tor Browser bug.
Other browsers/protocols may require a higher or lower limit. A warning is logged periodically (rate limited to avoid log spam/clutter) if circuits exceed the limit, so adjusting the parameter should be relatively straight forward.
