Most of the patches assume that your current working directory is
/usr/src
If you are in /usr/src/linux* try "patch -p1 <patch"
You can browse the patch with less and see at the "diff" line what
the expected hierachy looks like

To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in
the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
