This information is incorrect.  It is important to use the correct patches 
for 3.5.  Using the 3.6 patch on 3.5 will result in a kernel that fails to 
boot.

ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/3.5/i386/028_locore.patch
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/3.5/amd64/029_copy.patch

Apologies for the inconvenience.
