Yes, this is realitvely easy:
- create a directory patches/linux/VERSION
- put your patches in there

Of course, replace VERSION above with the version string of your Linux
kernel, eg:
  patches/linux/2.6.36

Patches will be applied in the order they are listed when the locale is C,
so if you want to ensure a specific order, prefix them with digits:
  100-my-stuff-1.patch
  200-my-stuff-2.patch
and so on...

As far as I know, headers as exported by the latest Linux kernel versions
are now in a very good shape (I recall a SCSI issue that was fixed only
recently, but I believe 2.6.34 and up do not have this issue). What are
those patches you need to apply?
