The best plan is to use whatever directory organization floats your boat,
and then massage the patches.  Start with 'yum install patchutils'.

Then usually you want something like

	diff -rpuNB --exclude={'*~','*.orig'} kernel-2.5.24{.orig,} |
	filterdiff --remove-timestamps --strip=2 --addprefix=linux-2.6/ > foo


Enjoy,
Roland
