The patches are generated automatically between a clean source tree
and the current tree. The script:
1. The current tree is updated from my development master tree
(on another machine - there are 4 other trees on this machine
for each platform - a5k, rpc, ebsa285, ebsa110).
2. The current tree is cleaned up, top-level makefile patched,
and the diff generated.
3. The diff is then placed in my local copy of the FTP site.
I don't tend to keep the previous kernel sources, which would be required
to do the delta diffs between the versions.
Plus, it would be difficult to do them between Linus' patches.
Probably your best way to do this would be to check out a copy
of my tree from your VCS, unpatch it, apply Linus' patches, and
then apply my patch to that. This would be an indirect way, but
would get you to the same point.
