The patch titled Subject: drivers/base/cpu.c: use __cpu_*_mask directly has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was drivers-base-cpuc-use-__cpu__mask-directly.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: drivers/base/cpu.c: use __cpu_*_mask directly The only user of the lvalue-ness of the cpu_*_mask variables is in drivers/base/cpu.c, and that is mostly a work-around for the fact that not even const variables can be used in static initialization. Now that the underlying struct cpumasks are exposed we can take their address.
