I had the same problem (missing coda_fs_i.h) with a vanilla 2.1.88
Strange thing is, the patch applied cleanly, with not a single *.rej.
After the patch 'coda_fs_i.h' and a few other new (created by the patch)
files showed up in /usr/src/linux, but not in their proper spots in the tree
(/usr/include/linux, for coda_fs_i.h)
Got a clean compile by doing 'patch -p0 < patch-2.1.89' instead of just
'patch < patch-2.1.89'
And all the 'patch created' files were in the right spots.
Why would this make such a difference? From the man pages I gather that
'patch' defaults with -p0.
(a lil' offtopic, but a soon to be kernel hacker, so help me out a bit :)
Patch version was 2.1
