Jeff Dike's SKAS4 patch modifies both the guest and host, but that's because current vanilla guests don't know anything about SKAS4. The SKAS3 patch does modify a few ARCH=um (guest) files, but it's only to make the guest compile correctly in the modified source tree. Otherwise, vanilla guests already know about SKAS3, and unpatched guests will work with SKAS3 hosts just as well as guests compiled from SKAS3-patched trees. The "old" uml patches you're thinking of were improvements/bugfixes that had not yet hit mainline. As UML is relatively stable now, I don't think Jeff or Paolo have been releasing standalone patchsets for awhile now.
