Nack, there's nothing wrong with storing original files that you're
modifying in a subdirectory with a name of your choice in the kernel tree.
It doesn't imply a -p0 patch unless both prefixes appear and that's the
best indication that it appears in both the patch author and patch
applier's tree whereas the file being modified is ambiguous.
