Tried this. works nice.
Two small remarks:

I would have expected you had to add something like:
FILESPATHPKG_append = ":linux-${PV}"
I had to add this to get access to the linux patches.

And this:
S = "${WORKDIR}/linux-${PV}"
might perhaps better end up in the base recipe (in my case linux_2.6.34.bb)
(actually thinking of it the FILESPATHPKG might also be moved into there).

Should I prepare a patch for that ?

Frans.
