The patch titled
Subject: sched: remove ARCH specific fpu_counter from task_struct
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
sched-remove-arch-specific-fpu_counter-from-task_struct.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Vineet Gupta <Vineet.Gupta1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: sched: remove ARCH specific fpu_counter from task_struct
fpu_counter in task_struct was used only by sh/x86. Both of these now
carry it in ARCH specific thread_struct, hence this can now be removed
from generic task_struct, shrinking it slightly for other arches.
