If there are, either you or me has made a mistake. + Unlike patches for the 2.6.x kernels, patches for the 2.6.x.y kernels + (also known as the -stable kernels) are not incremental but instead apply + directly to the base 2.6.x kernel. Please read + Documentation/applying-patches.txt for more information. + Alternatively, the script patch-kernel can be used to automate this process.
