I am trying to understand Suspend 2 and what I have to do to get it working in Centos 5. There is quite a bit for it at ATrpms:

The later is the kernel patches that they refer to at the Suspend2 website, so I don't have to recompile the kernel?
No, that's the kernel already built for you.
But note: There is a new kernel in build and new kmdl for that kernel, so you may want to hold off for 12-24h before installing. You can of course already install the 8.1.4 kernel and then let yum update (with the yum-plugin-kmdl) do its magic.
I noticed that over at: http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/madwifi/
There are even rpms for BOTH Suspend2 and Madwifi (my situation, and I have been using the 'regular' madwifi parts for over a year now).
Yes, all kmdls are built for the vendor kernel and the suspend2 kernels.
So can anyone give me a bit of guidance/confirmation on setting up Suspend2.
Point yum to ATrpms and do
yum install kernel-suspend2
Boot into it and if you want some kmdl like madwifi do
yum install madwifi madwifi-kmdl-`uname -r`
If you want to do that before booting into the new kernel then replace `uname -r` with the uname-r-to-be.
