The patch titled
Subject: drivers/base/memory.c: clean up section counting
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
drivers-memory-clean-up-section-counting.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Seth Jennings <sjennings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: drivers/base/memory.c: clean up section counting
Right now, section_count is calculated in add_memory_block(). However,
init_memory_block() increments section_count as well, which, at first,
seems like it would lead to an off-by-one error. There is no harm done
because add_memory_block() immediately overwrites the mem->section_count,
but it is messy.
This commit moves the increment out of the common init_memory_block()
(called by both add_memory_block() and register_new_memory()) and adds it
to register_new_memory().
