No, you do it right;-) The instructions seem to be a leftover from the time when Linus named the kernel directory linux/ (as opposed to linux-2.5.xx).

You may want to remove
However, your patch gets us only half-way to correct instructions, since for 'patch -p1' one also needs to cd into the kernel directory. E.g., something like
install by patching, get all the newer patch files, enter the top level directory of the kernel source (the one named linux-2.xx.yy) and execute:
gzip -cd ../patchXX.gz | patch -p1 or bzip2 -dc ../patchXX.bz2 | patch -p1
(repeat xx for all versions bigger than the version of your current source tree, _in_order_) and you should be ok. Don't forget to rename the kernel directory to linux-2.xx.zz where zz is the number of the lates patch you applied.
may be better?
