The patch titled
Subject: mm/page_alloc: fix and rework pfn handling in memmap_init_zone()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

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

Subject: mm/page_alloc: fix and rework pfn handling in memmap_init_zone()
Let's update the pfn manually whenever we continue the loop. This makes
the code easier to read but also less error prone (and we can directly fix
one issue).
When overlap_memmap_init() returns true, pfn is updated to
"memblock_region_memory_end_pfn(r)". So it already points at the *next*
pfn to process. Incrementing the pfn another time is wrong, we might
leave one uninitialized. I spotted this by inspecting the code, so I have
no idea if this is relevant in practise (with kernelcore=mirror).
