Start with the kernel srpm. Do a:

The trick here is to remember to extract the BUILD directory once with the
above command, rename that directory (I add "-original" to the end), then
extract a 2nd copy, and make the changes to that. This makes it easy to
extract the diff.
With the latest Fedora kernel SRPM's the first run of the prep step will
make a copy of the mint files to a "vanilla" directory, and if you do a
subsequent prep, it just copies the files from the vanilla directory
instead of extracting and patching from the SOURCES directory. So you can
use the vanilla directory as the baseline to create your patch from.
