<Half_Authoritative>

The way I would do it:
1) Get the src.rpm
2) Install it
3) Replace the kernel source tarball
4) Change the version on the specfile
5) Try to build
6) Rinse and repeat (#5 & #6), until it builds the way I want,
   removing already applied patches and changing the ones needed
   accordingly.
