Jon, are you using the standard kernel from ftp.kernel.org (or it's
mirrors) or the one supplied by RedHat?

If you are using the RedHat one, that will be what's causing the problem -
RedHat add a whole bunch of patches themselves which are possibly
incompatible with the patch you are trying to add.

Always apply kernel patches to the original, Linus Torvalds-blessed
source, unless stated otherwise.
