That's the patch you want. The 2.2.11 patch is for 2.2.13.
There is a separate patch for 2.2.14. The rejects you saw are
for SPARC64 and PPC, so if you are using an i386, don't worry
about them.

Either use your current kernel with that patch or get 2.2.14
and grab the patch at http://www.redhat.com/~mingo/raid.
Happy RAIDing!
