I wasn't suggesting renaming the ebuild but downloading the older
version. However, on checking the content I see it still uses the
kernel-2 eclass. You can deal with this by downloading the older version
of the eclass from CVS and putting it in an overlay, but it's probably
easier to just apply the patches manually in this case.

gentoo-sources uses both the base and extra patchsets from genpatches.
