There is actually now a patch scrip in the newer sources.
see  /usr/src/linux/scripts/patch-kernel.
It's mentioned in the linux/README file but all you need to do
is put the patches in /usr/src/linux and then from there do
#sh scripts/patch-kernel
it will automaticaly determine the current kernel,
add however many relevant patches there are in that dir in the 
correct order, then clean up afterwards.
Even make xconfig seems to work now.

The real danger with kernel patching is the addiction
to running the latest kernel.

Richard.
