I think that is the syntax i use back then.
What do you mean by vanilla linux? You're talking about the kernel or the
distrib gnu/linux in general?
Rpm is supported by the majority of the distros if i remember correctly.

Why do you cat the patch?
You might not have the right version for your kernel, either try the one
from the linux-vfio repo from arch,
or just put the modifications in the correct file by hand and be done with
it.
The patch command should return you something if you had errors during the
patching.
