So I have a couple patches supplied to me by upstream in relation to a kernel bug[1], but I can't figure out how to patch the kernel. The CentOS wiki page discusses retrieving the kernel source[2], but doesn't describe how to apply patches. Instructions I've found apply to CentOS5, and RH has changed their kernel packaging since then.
I've been banging my head on this off and on for quite a while, now. I've mucked with Gentoo and Debian packaging, but kernel RPMs are a new one for me...

This wiki article explains how to apply patches:

Or, you can download a source file for the centosplus kernel and see how the patches are added in there.

That looks like *exactly* what I needed.

I think I've got what I needed, thanks.

<snip> Um, if you got it from upstream, meaning, I presume, that you have a license, why not call their support and ask them - that's what you're spending money for....

Upstream meaning kernel developers, not RH themselves. Though the kernel developer in question happens to be an RHEL employee.
