> you saying that typing, "make" in the "PATCHES" directory will cause a patch to be generated specifically for my kernel? 
thats actually the work of ./configure it trys to find out what you 
have, and what you need
in PATCHES it chooses from all the patches the ones your kernel need ,
and " make " put them together in one patch for your kernel
