This is very easily done with the command 'patch -p1 patchfilename'.
If the patch is compressed then use
zcat <patchfile.gz> | patch -p1
or bzcat <patchfile.bz2> | patch -p1
This assumes you are in /usr/src/linux and the patch is there, too.
After this you should look for .rej files. If there are none
you can start compiling your kernel.
If you like, you can edit the top level Makefile, line 4, if it's a
non-official patch (not a Linus-Patch). If e.g. it's one of the
ac patches make line 4 look like
EXTRAVERSION = -ac2
I've written a tiny shell function, which automates the whole process.
If someone is interested, tll me. I'll send it
