This file looks like you have downloaded it from kernel.org. Extensive documentation can be found there, i.e. it says about your type of patch (kernel prepatch): "Prepatches are the equivalent to alpha releases for Linux; they live in the testing directories in the archives. They should be applied using the patch(1) utility to the source code of the previous full release." HTH, Flo
