The easiest would be:

$ git clone git://git.kernel.dk/fio

Then save the patch from mail in a file, eg /tmp/patch. Then do:

$ cd fio
$ patch -p1 --dry-run < /tmp/patch

If the patch command spews any errors, the most likely explanation is 
that your mailer mangled it somehow. You can try and add -l and see if 
that makes patch happier, it'll ignore white space then.

Assuming that worked, just do:

$ ./configure
$ make

and re-run with ./fio and your job file.
