I try use this patch in Kernel 2.6.19-git5, but I receive an error message:

/linux-2.6.19# patch -p1 < /home/yamane/Desktop/kernel/kvm.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
- --------------------------
|--- linux-2.6.orig/drivers/kvm/paging_tmpl.h
|+++ linux-2.6/drivers/kvm/paging_tmpl.h
- --------------------------
File to patch:

Whats wrong? :-(

Best regards,
