Is this what you write about?:
<http://people.debian.org/~luther/powerpc/2.4.25-1/kernel-patch-2.4.25-powerpc_2.4.25-1.tar.gz>

What is this? 

And how do I apply these patches (?) to a kernel source tree?
 
I know what a patch file is, and how to use it. But so far I've never
seen a whole bunch of files like the ones in the tar ball above to be
able to patch a source tree.

Thanks in anticipation
