The shape of this field is different to the radius & falloff summation currently used by the Point Density texture - and it will even differ based on the chosen SPH solver. This allows for better analysis of SPH fluids. Note that the tracker says the patch adds a "new texture type"; that is no longer true; it just adds a new density source to the existing texture type.

+1 for vertex color bake (I've reviewed and update the patch for BMesh).
