How to build a recent "Fedora kernel for the unexperienced":

1. Grab recent -stable from kernel.org and unpack it into /usr/src
2. Take a look into /boot and grab the config of your recent Fedora
kernel. Example: config-4.2.5-300.fc23.x86_64
3. Rename this file to ".config" and copy it into the root directory
of your unpacked source
4. Change into the source root directory
5. Do a "make oldconfig". If your new kernel is newer that your recent
Fedora one, you'll have to answer some new question on the
configuration of your new kernel. If you have no clue what to answer,
a "no" for alle of the questions will do it in 95% of the cases.
6. Continue with "nice -n 19 make -j x", where x is the number of your cpus
cores.
7. "make modules_install"
8. "make install"
9. Reboot, you're done.

This kernel will live peacefully together with your Fedora kernels,
without affecting the rpm database or similar.

Btw: your patch should be applied after step 4 and before step 5 ;-)
