OK! I have not tried to create patches using this method,
but will try it.

Very interesting.
I have been building all my kernels with SMP disabled.
To wit, Here are the relevant config options in my
.config file for 2.6.38 (Mainline kernel), which I am
now running:
#
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit
# Linux/i386 2.6.38.0-1 Kernel Configuration
# Wed Mar 16 23:19:36 2011
#
# CONFIG_64BIT is not set
CONFIG_X86_32=y
# CONFIG_X86_64 is not set
CONFIG_X86=y
.
.
.
#
# General setup
#
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y
CONFIG_BROKEN_ON_SMP=y
.
.
.
# CONFIG_SMP is not set
