The patch titled
Subject: x86/extable: use generic search and sort routines
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
x86-extable-use-generic-search-and-sort-routines.patch
This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged
------------------------------------------------------
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: x86/extable: use generic search and sort routines
Replace the arch specific versions of search_extable() and sort_extable()
with calls to the generic ones, which now support relative exception
tables as well.
