The patch titled
Subject: x86/mm: drop unused MAX_PHYSADDR_BITS
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
x86-mm-drop-unused-max_physaddr_bits.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Arvind Sankar <nivedita@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: x86/mm: drop unused MAX_PHYSADDR_BITS
Patch series "Drop unused MAX_PHYSADDR_BITS".
This #define is not used anywhere, and has the wrong value on x86_64.
I tried digging into the history a bit, but it seems to have been unused
0even in the initial merge of sparsemem in v2.6.13, when it was first
defined.
This patch (of 3):
The macro is not used anywhere, and has an incorrect value (going by the
comment) on x86_64 since commit
c898faf91b3e ("x86: 46 bit physical address support on 64 bits")
To avoid confusion, just remove the definition.
