The patch titled
Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: drop PageReserved() check in online_pages_range()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-memory_hotplug-drop-pagereserved-check-in-online_pages_range.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: drop PageReserved() check in online_pages_range()
move_pfn_range_to_zone() will set all pages to PG_reserved via
memmap_init_zone(). The only way a page could no longer be reserved would
be if a MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier would clear PG_reserved - which is not
done (the online_page callback is used for that purpose by e.g., Hyper-V
instead). walk_system_ram_range() will never call online_pages_range()
with duplicate PFNs, so drop the PageReserved() check.
This seems to be a leftover from ancient times where the memmap was
initialized when adding memory and we wanted to check for already onlined
memory.
