Ok, it's becoming a little clearer now.  Is the appropriate procedure
something like this?

  git clone git://github.com/mcgrof/compat.git
  git clone git://github.com/mcgrof/compat-wireless.git
  cd compat-wireless
  git checkout linux-3.0.y
  GIT_COMPAT_TREE=$(pwd)/compat/
  NEXT_TREE=/path/to/src/linux
  GIT_TREE=/path/to/linux/repo
  export GIT_TREE GIT_COMPAT_TREE

  scripts/gen-stable-release.sh <some appropriate arguments>

And then this will not generate a list of patches but just a patched
source code tree with appropriate #ifdefs to make the code build
against old kernels.

That sounds useful.
