I will also comment that this technique is wrong and should be avoided - the correct manner is to change to the base dir of your kernel source (/usr/src/linux-xx.xx.xx, or whatever you've called it) and use patch -p1 -- this way you don't rely on having the same base-path for your kernel source as the patch's author had.
