How do I install the Intel patch at:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=35845
to fix the Intel graphics card?

It seems to be a text email, and not any sort of .sh script, .deb file,
or any other sort of installable file?

It looks like code: does this mean I have to copy/paste it into a
particular Ubuntu core file, recompile it, and replace my current file
with the new one?  If so, how would I do this and what do i need to
replace where?
I assume the files I have to mess with are:
 drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c
 drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp.c
 drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_drv.h
but I'm still not sure what I should do with them, how to do it, or how
to install the 'difference' code supplied

Please could someone who's installed this patch successfully email the
list with a list of commands to get this installed and working that a
new linux user could use?
