Copy the text from the line:

  diff -Nru a/drivers/ide/via82cxxx.c b/drivers/ide/via82cxxx.c

to just before the row of equals signs. Paste in a file, which I'll call
'vt8235.diff'.

Change directory to your linux source tree:

        cd /usr/src/linux

Run patch, using -p1 to remove the a/ from the paths in the vt8235.diff
file.

        cat vt8235.diff | patch -p1

Compile away!
