Even easier, use diff -r for recursive.  to get the kind of output we are
used to in rcs and general patch files, use the -u switch also.

so to compare 2 kernels or dirs in general, use
diff -ru dir.orij dir.new > dir.patch

and if you feel the need to ever apply these changes to another similar
directory (like your personal changes to a 2.2.10 and try to apply to a
2.2.11) ,just change to that kernel's dir, and type patch -p1 < dir.patch
and it will apply it as best it can.
