I'm not a patch guru by any means, but normally you have to feed the patch
file into patch via stdin, like this:
patch < aic7xxx-5.1.17-2.2.9.patch
The -b option (according to the manpage) is for setting the suffix of the
backup files, so I'm not sure if you'll even need it in this case.
Hope this helps,
