The patch titled
     Subject: linux/bitmap.h: improve BITMAP_{LAST,FIRST}_WORD_MASK
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     linux-bitmaph-improve-bitmap_lastfirst_word_mask.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: linux/bitmap.h: improve BITMAP_{LAST,FIRST}_WORD_MASK

The macro BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK can be implemented without a conditional,
which will generally lead to slightly better generated code (221 bytes
saved for allmodconfig-GCOV_KERNEL, ~2k with GCOV_KERNEL).  As a small
bonus, this also ensures that the nbits parameter is expanded exactly
once.

In BITMAP_FIRST_WORD_MASK, if start is signed gcc is technically allowed
to assume it is positive (or divisible by BITS_PER_LONG), and hence just
do the simple mask.  It doesn't seem to use this, and even on an
architecture like x86 where the shift only depends on the lower 5 or 6
bits, and these bits are not affected by the signedness of the expression,
gcc still generates code to compute the C99 mandated value of start %
BITS_PER_LONG.  So just use a mask explicitly, also for consistency with
BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK.
