Well, I think it would be better to recreate the diff. What you have now does not apply:

dvorobye@sd048:/work/zoo/src/linux-2.6$ git apply

[pasted the patch]

For a quick intro to creating the kernel patches, please see Documentation/SubmittingPatches, which describes the gitless approach. However, as I mentioned earlier, using git is much better.

Thanks,
