for the hassle of patching i use this
#!/bin/sh
set -e
pname=`basename $1`
for i in $1/*.patch
do
        pnum=`basename $i`
        pnum=${pnum%.patch}
        patch -p1 -s -N -E -b -z .$pname.$pnum.orig < $i
        for j in `find . -name \*.$pname.$pnum.orig`
        do
                if [ -f ${j%.$pnum.orig}.orig ]
                then
                        rm -f $j
                else
                        mv $j ${j%.$pnum.orig}.orig
                fi
        done
done

to use cd into kernel source dir and run it vs /path/to/2.4.20-dm-7
