Always diff against the latest version of the kernel.  You can find out 
the latest version by going to http://www.kernel.org/  You'll typically 
want the latest snapshot (preferably), or the latest pre-patch.

Standard patch submission format is described at 
http://linux.yyz.us/patch-format.html and in 
Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

When submitting a series of patches, it is normal patches to depend on 
preceding patches.
