The patch titled
Subject: kernel/param: consolidate __{start,stop}___param[] in <linux/moduleparam.h>
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kernel-param-consolidate-__startstop___param-in-linux-moduleparamh.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kernel/param: consolidate __{start,stop}___param[] in <linux/moduleparam.h>
Consolidate the various external const and non-const declarations of
__start___param[] and __stop___param in <linux/moduleparam.h>. This
requires making a few struct kernel_param pointers in kernel/params.c
const.
