The problem with this approach is error recovery. If one of the intermediate patches didn't apply cleanly and if the script didn't handle this, you will end up with a horribly broken kernel tree. Scripts are OK for day to day activities, but not for things related to the kernel, IMO. With bash's command history and readline editing, you don't gain much with a script. IMO, if there is no control flow involved, there is no need for a shell script either.
