You don't patch the Fedora RPM installed kernels, you install the next
released version and use it instead.

So, ever so slightly expanding on a prior two-step process:

1. Download the kernel RPM.
2. Install the kernel (as it said before, rpm -i name-of-file.rpm).
3. Reboot and use the new kernel.
