Alan,
The method you describe is the "standard" way of compiling a kernel, but for Centos the method seems to vary...
The guide on the Wiki is maintained and is thoroughly tested (and ammended as necessary) for each new kernel release so I would strongly suggest you stick with that method. If you have any issues following that methodology I'm sure Akemi and Alan, the maintainers of that page, will be happy to assist you. Akemi is active on this list and I'm sure will respond in due course.
Thanks, Ned, for waking me up by calling out my name loudly :-D
As Ned said correctly, you (OP) are doing it right by following the CentOS way. The "standard" way is strongly discouraged when building the CentOS kernel.
The problem I see is that your patch does not apply verbatim on the CentOS kernel. Take a look at the .rej file and find where it is failing. Line numbers are apparently not matching.
