Peter sorry for the delay in responding,

The instructions are complete but perhaps they could be a little
clearer.

tar zxvf apparmor.tar.gz
ln -sf apparmor $(PATH_TO_KENEL_SOURCE)/patches
cd $(PATH_TO_KERNEL_SOURCE)
quilt push -a

where $(PATH_TO_KERNEL_SOURCE) is replaced by your kernel source
so if you where patching your linux-2.6 tree, the instructions become

tar zxvf apparmor.tar.gz
ln -sf apparmor /usr/src/linux-2.6/patches
cd /usr/src/linux-2.6
quilt push -a
