No idea, however a patch file will only patch cleanly on a source tree
which has not had any alterations done to any of its origanal files, Eg, .c
and .h files, i presume you have not done anything like that, if so then
there is no need to replace the source at all.
Kernel patches are "normally speaking" created from /usr/src so you need to
be in /usr/src to use a kernel patch, (once again i am presuming) its a
kernel patch.
cd /usr/src
gzip -cd /path_to_patchfile/patch_file.gz | patch -p0 -s
Or if the patch is not zipped.
patch -p0 -s < /path_to_patchfile/patch_file
Or of cource if the patch file is in /usr/src
patch -p0 -s < patchfile

another file to keep is/usr/src/linux/.config
