Applied.

For future reference, this patch was a bit hard to apply because the filenames 
weren't the names of the files to be patched.  The normal thing to do is keep 
a copy of the unmodified tree and go
  diff -u busybox-old/util-linux/fdisk.c busybox-new/util-linux/fdisk.c

Then I can go into my busybox dir and go "patch -p1 -i yourfile.patch" and it 
just applies, even if there are multiple files being compared.  (Which diff 
-r can produce.)

Or if you have svn, it can produce a diff against the repository version (so 
you get a diff without explicitly keeping the old copy around), and that 
produces convenient paths too.  (Based on -p0 instead of p1, I.E. as if done 
from _within_ the busybox directory.  But quite usable.)
