The patch titled
     Subject: mips: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mips-get-rid-of-superfluous-__gfp_repeat.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>
Subject: mips: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.

pte_alloc_one{_kernel}, pmd_alloc_one allocate PTE_ORDER resp.  PMD_ORDER
but both are not larger than 1.  This means that this flag has never been
actually useful here because it has always been used only for
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
