Download the appropriate patch for the correct kernel version (2.2.12 in
your case), go to your linux src directory, and use 'patch -p1' to apply.
At least that's the way I'd do it; eg:
% cd /usr/local/src/linux
% zcat /usr/local/download/ide-patch-2.2.12-or-whatever.gz | patch -p1
Hopefully all the patches will apply successfully.
I've personally applied the patches there for my HPT366 controller to
2.2.13 and it works without a single hitch, and from what I've gathered from
linux-kernel, many people seem to be saying that the Promise Ultra66 is
better (for whatever reason) 8). So hopefully that'll work for you nicely.
I'm pretty sure there's patches there for 2.2.12.
