The patch titled
Subject: mm/memory.c: make remap_pfn_range() reject unaligned addr
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-memoryc-make-remap_pfn_range-reject-unaligned-addr.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm/memory.c: make remap_pfn_range() reject unaligned addr
This function implicitly assumes that the addr passed in is page aligned.
A non page aligned addr could ultimately cause a kernel bug in
remap_pte_range as the exit condition in the logic loop may never be
satisfied. This patch documents the need for the requirement, as well as
explicitly adds a check for it.
