I don't understand why you can't just patch in progression.  I did
that with the slackware 2.6 kernel.  Is Fedora just different?  And
BTW, using patch -R didn't work for me.  I had to download the tar.gz
and do it from there, which isn't that big of a deal;  I just don't
see why you cant patch your kernel with patch -E -p1 < patchfile.
