Yes it will work like this however it should not be nessasry, if the above
does not work then there is something wrong with his/her/your system.
All kernel patches and tar archives are created in the SAME way, so if
someone decides to have his/her directory structure assigned different
paths/names then problems WILL arise with patching the kernel source, and
later on with "make", unless you take steps to create the nessacary symbolic
links pointing to the "linux" source directory whereever it is to keep patch
and make happy.
