you don't need the patches,
the 2.2.5 kernel which comes with Redhat 6.0 already have thes patches,
and the raidtools-0.90 RPM is included too.
the raid devices are built as modules,
therefore you may load them with insmod.
So if you want a root-raid device, you must rebuild your initrd and add the
raid*.o module
