DISCLAIMER: Do this at your own risk. I assume you know how to build and
install a kernel from source or we wouldn't be having this conversation.
save attachment
cd <your kernel sourcedir>
cat <savedfile> | patch -p1 --dry-run (-p1 strips (one - hence -p1)
level of directory, --dry-run says don't actually apply patch just test)
Make sure there are no failed hunks. Fuzz is ok but no failures. If you
have failures the patch won't work. If no failures continue to next step.
cat <savedfile> | patch -p1 (now really apply the patch)
make oldconfig
If it doesn't prompt you about subfs run make menuconfig and turn on
subfs for module.
make; make modules_install; make install
You should be on familiar ground now I assume.
