From the /usr/src/linux/README:
 "If you are upgrading between releases using the stable series patches
  (for example, patch-2.6.xx.y), note that these "dot-releases" are
  not incremental and must be applied to the 2.6.xx base tree. For
  example, if your base kernel is 2.6.12 and you want to apply
  the  2.6.12.3 patch, you do not and indeed must not first apply
  the 2.6.12.1 and 2.6.12.2 patches. Similarly, if you are
  running kernel version 2.6.12.2 and want to jump to 2.6.12.3, you
  must first reverse the 2.6.12.2 patch (that is, patch -R)
  _before_ applying the 2.6.12.3 patch."

So I would think, that you need to reverse back to 2.6.13 and then apply
patch-2.6.14. I.e. there is no patch from 2.6.13.4 to 2.6.14.
