patching FC3 kernel

I'm trying to figure out how to patch a FC source kernel.
I've downloaded and installed the source rpms and now have a bunch of
.config files .patch files a linux-2.6.11.tar.bz2 etc.
The FC release notes say to do a rpmbuild -bp --target=<arch>kernel.spec
(where <arch> is the desired architecture). I would assume this would
be something like i386, i586, i686? (I know this is s silly question)
how do I know what to set this to?
This should create a kernel tree in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/ , I then copy
the correct .config file to this directotry (what's the -smp mean?)
Do I apply patches to this resulting kernel tree like:
patch -p1 -d s3_late_bios_new.patch ?? and then:
make oldconfig
make bzImage modules
make modules_install install
??
I'm assuming that this process does not automatically update grub?
Thanks,
