Thank you for spotting this but please fix the formatting.

All patches should be rooted at the iproute2 top level repository 
(similar to the requirements for the
kernel as documented in Documentation/SubmittingPatches)

If apply them manually the patch fails as well. 
that can be correctly processed by git 
$ cd my-iproute2
$ cd man/man8
$ $ patch < ~/Downloads/Problems-in-bridge.8-ip-netns.8-ip-maddress.8-ip-tunnel.8-ip-route.8-ip-neighbour.8-ip-rule.8.patch 
patching file ip-rule.8
patch: **** malformed patch at line 90: Problems with ip-neighbour.8:

If you use a tool like quilt or git format-patch a correctly formatted email
will be generated.
