That's alright.. I'm still a newbie over here...

read Documentation/SubmittingPatches

there the instructions on how to create a perfect patch is there.
then when done make sure you use scripts/checkpatch to check you patch 
then when all good use scripts/getmaintainer.pl to find the appropriate 
people to send it too.

and voila you'll be sending patches to the kernel like there's no 
tomorrow...
