I've also developed a patch (posted just now to lkml), that does nearly the same thing for the 2.4.x series kernels. The major difference is that I use a PPM file (and have a conversion utility in linux/scripts/ called ppmtolinuxlogo.c), and mine can be configured out of the kernel from a Config.in.
Please feel free to rip out the ppmtolinuxlogo.c and put it in your patch, if you would like. Also, you may want to look at the Makefile dependencies and Config.in/Configure.help changes to improve your patch.
I also have a 2.2.x version of my patch, but I can forward you that in private email if you would like. Very little changed.
