There were a bunch of patch files included in the SRPM, but they were all numbered up to 2.6.9 so i did not apply them. Besides, how does one know in which order to apply the patches?
Though you don't absolutely have to apply the patches... you probably might want to because that would produce a kernel like what you already have. Those patches are indeed meant to be used.
You can look into the SPEC file to figure out the patch order. Alternatively, just use rpmbuild to construct the binary RPM for you! After installing the binary RPM, make the config changes in the config files (they're all in the SOURCES directory.
