That's partly our fault - the patch used to apply 1 level higher (since
it patched linux/ and created cmds/) and the instructions on the web
page are wrong.  I'll fix that, sorry!

Martin's right, though, apply it in the linux/ directory rather than
it's parent directory.

He's also right that you REALLY only want to apply the 2.4.3 patch to a
2.4.3 kernel.
