The kvm mmu attempts to cache global translations, however it misses on

By caching global huge page translations, boot time of fc5 i386 on i386
is reduced from ~35 seconds to ~24 seconds.

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

File to patch:

Whats wrong? :-(

This patch is for kvm, which lives in the -mm kernel. Apply the latest -mm patch first.
