  I have done this a few times on earlier
versions of RHEL and have had no problems
with what I suggest here.
  Looked all the patches over.  They should be
applied manually with an editor.  The header
file errors are almost assuredly just the
result of RedHat back-porting a few extra items
to the lists of definitions.  When editing in
the changes to the code, just make sure that
arguments to the added code are still avail-
able in the code to be modified.  Thankfully
that's a very small, contained set of changes
to apply.
