patch-o-matic is some patches included in netfilter (the userspace 
tarball) to patch a kernel,to patch up your kernel,you unpack a fresh 
tarball of the kernel and netfilter,you go in the netfilter source tree 
and you then run:

make KERNEL_DIR=<path to your freshly unpacked kernel sources> 
patch-o-matic

there will be several questions asked by the script (which patch you 
want to apply).
