This is funny.  Patching with "patch -p0 < 2.5.68-mm3" caused all the patched 
files to appear in /usr/src/25  They also disappeared from 
/usr/src/linux-2.5.68

I did "cp -a /usr/src/25/* /usr/src/linux-2.5.68/" and there was no error at 
first, but the compile failed with:

gcc -Wp,-MD,net/core/.netfilter.o.d -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -Wall 
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe

Still I can't understand what is the intended way of doing this.  I will try 
n+1 ways and stop to think now and then, but if someone has an easy way to do 
this, I haven't seen it.
