The idea is that I can just drop in your patch over the existing 
2.6.14-23_compat.patch compat patch right?

cd open-iscsi/kernel
mv your_patch 2.6.14-23_compat.patch
make

(the build system's patching code assumes we are in the kernel dir so I 
just have to remove the /kernel/ strings from the diff).
