The patch titled
kill default_ldt
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
kill-default_ldt.patch
This patch was dropped because I wanna new one
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: kill default_ldt
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xxxxxxxx>
The default LDT is completely unused now that iBCS is no longer supported,
so get rid of it.
