Ususally kernel patches have to be applied from the
top
level directory of the kernel source with a patch line like
the following:
patch -p1 < /path/to/patch
to test before applying use:
patch -p1 --dry-run < /path/to/patch
I read that I need a »mm«-kernel. Is this a vanilla from
kernel.org, or do I need special sources?
I have already configured and built kernels from time to time,
but as you can see I'm still a n00b concerning kernel
knowledge ;-) .
Thanks for any hint,
