PX = PowerXpress.  PX systems are laptops with two GPUs, an integrated and a
discrete GPU.

It does not disable power management.  It only disables the special handling
for PX systems which gets incorrectly applied to non-PX systems in certain
cases.  When you apply the patches you shouldn't need to add the radeon.runpm=0
option.  If radeon.runpm=0 fixes the issue, so should the patches.

If you are using git:
git am <patch file>

Otherwise:
patch -p1 -i <patch file>
