To get the drm-intel kernel tree instead of Linus' tree, instead of
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
use
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/anholt/drm-intel.git
drm-intel-next is the head of that tree (called master in Linus' tree), i.e. what you get when you clone.
If you have Linus' tree already, it is possible to use that as a reference so that you don't have to download so much. Never tried that, but should be --reference option (see "man git-clone").
You can see all git repositories hosted at git.kernel.org at http://git.kernel.org.

The patch is in mailbox format, and therefore the "git am" command can be used (see "man git-am") to apply the patch.
