You can follow the instructions here to work off the for_v3.4 branch:

I think you will find this useful:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLBrBBImJt4

It shows how you can submit patches using nothing but git.
It's *much* easier than using diff yourself.
It also shows the usage of checkpatch and get_maintainers script.

Also, please read other patches sent to the list, so you can see
how commit messages should look like.
A little googling won't hurt:

http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html
http://spheredev.org/wiki/Git_for_the_lazy#Writing_good_commit_messages

Don't get discourage if your patches aren't accepted right away:
it looks hard at first, but it's only until you get used to.

Hope it helps,
Ezequiel.
