Just to follow up on this, the patch meant nonint_oldconfig was 
expecting some more config options in the .config.

I had to add:

CONFIG_PATA_ISAPNP=n
CONFIG_PATA_LEGACY=n
CONFIG_PATA_QDI=n
CONFIG_PATA_WINBOND_VLB=n

to the base and PAE configs, and then the build continued. No idea if 
putting n was the right option, but I'm sure i'll find out when I run 
the kernel..

cheers
