assuming that you have the linux source tree at /usr/src/linux, and
the patch to be applied is in /usr/src, you can run this script (I
called it dopatches.sh)
#! /bin/bash
cd /usr/src
linux/scripts/patch-kernel
The patch-kernel script will automatically detect the current kernel
version (in the source tree, not the running one) and apply the needed
patch, be it a .gz or a .bz2 one.
If you want to manually apply a patch, the /usr/src/linux/README file
has some recommendations.
