The patch titled
Subject: mm/hugetlb.c: don't zero 1GiB bootmem pages
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-hugetlb-dont-zero-1gib-bootmem-pages.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Cannon Matthews <cannonmatthews@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/hugetlb.c: don't zero 1GiB bootmem pages
When using 1GiB pages during early boot, use the new
memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw() to allocate memory without zeroing it.
Zeroing out hundreds or thousands of GiB in a single core memset() call is
very slow, and can make early boot last upwards of 20-30 minutes on multi
TiB machines.
The memory does not need to be zero'd as the hugetlb pages are always
zero'd on page fault.
Tested: Booted with ~3800 1G pages, and it booted successfully in roughly
the same amount of time as with 0, as opposed to the 25+ minutes it would
take before.
