The patch titled

     i386: remove multi-entry backtraces

has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename is

     i386-remove-multi-entry-backtraces.patch

This patch was dropped because lockdep is being redone

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: i386: remove multi-entry backtraces
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>


Remove CONFIG_STACK_BACKTRACE_COLS.

This feature didnt work out: instead of making kernel debugging more
efficient, it produces much harder to read stacktraces!  Check out this
trace for example:

  http://static.flickr.com/47/158326090_35d0129147_b_d.jpg

That backtrace could have been printed much nicer as a
one-entry-per-line thing, taking the same amount of screen real-estate.

Plus we remove 30 lines of kernel code as well.
