I could apply these patches with "patch -p1 < patch_file" command.

i.e /usr/src/davem-net-2.6 # patch -p1 < patch_2-0-6-1

You can't have the double slash there in your paths, this gets
interpreted as "/drivers/net/vxge/vxge-config.c" by all the patch
applying tools.

Please "-p1" root your patches properly as described in
linux/Documentation/SubmittingPatches

You'll need to resubmit your entire patch set with this fixed up.

Thanks.
