Patching Red Hat (or other vendor kernels) is tough, and non-trivial.
In general, you only want to use a patch against the codebase it was
generated from.
We have patches against "vanilla" linux kernels from Linus & Marcello,
and instructions for using these patches are at
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/source.html
We also have some prerelease kernel RPMs based on Red Hat 8.0 /
2.4.18-17 kernels, at
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/Release-1.2pre2/kernel_rpms/RPMS/
