Without -R.

[linux-2.6.8-rc4-mm1]$ patch -p1 --dry-run < /tmp/8139too-mm-revert.patch
patching file drivers/net/8139too.c
[linux-2.6.8-rc4-mm1]$ md5sum drivers/net/8139too.c
70b78e69d4c2387b63aaee943e67a244  drivers/net/8139too.c

Can you check the md5sum of the 8139too.c file in your 2.6.8-rc4-mm1 tree ?
