Dmesg is not in every distro at /bin/dmesg, in NixOS for example, this fails,
but the path should in most cases contain dmesg.
This follows the example of replacing /bin/bash with bash Path in the codebase.

It is usual to put a tag after the patch, it should be at the end of the
commit message. With that,

I've tried to apply the patch but it failed. It looks broken.
Have you generated it using git format-patch ?
Thanks,
