You don't necessarily have to copy them to /usr/src. The steps are
outlined in the README, and you definitely should have read at least
that before posting.
The real work is reading through Documentation/Configure.help to
determine which features you want to include/exclude.
By-all-means, use your current configuration file, probably called
/boot/config-kernel_version, as a guideline.
If any of the features are wrong for your new version, then delete that
line. If it says something you want has been not-chosen, delete that line.
Then put this edited script in your sources directory as .config and run
make oldconfig
as your first step.
It's easier than you think.
