pacth question

[Tyler <tyler@xxxxxxxx>]

Why this patch isn't good ?
I juste make a diff -u include/linux/kernel.org.h include/linux/kernel.h 
and catch the result in the file monpatch.

BUG() or die() is in progress */

But when i hit the command : "cat monpatch | -p1", there is the 
following error :

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
