usually you get the latest kernel (2.6.16.20)
and the latest patches (in this case 2.02-rc22)
and simply apply that, then copy the .config
file from your existing kernel build and do
'make oldconfig' followed by 'make', which will
build the new kernel for you ...

yes, patch supports -R, which reverses a given
patch
