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

Subject: mm: optimise nth_page for contiguous memmap

If the memmap is virtually contiguous (either because we're using a
virtually mapped memmap or because we don't support a discontig memmap at
all), then we can implement nth_page() by simple addition.  Contrary to
popular belief, the compiler is not able to optimise this itself for a
vmemmap configuration.  This reduces one example user (sg.c) by four
instructions:

        struct page *page = nth_page(rsv_schp->pages[k], offset >> PAGE_SHIFT);

before:
   49 8b 45 70             mov    0x70(%r13),%rax
   48 63 c9                movslq %ecx,%rcx
   48 c1 eb 0c             shr    $0xc,%rbx
   48 8b 04 c8             mov    (%rax,%rcx,8),%rax
   48 2b 05 00 00 00 00    sub    0x0(%rip),%rax
           R_X86_64_PC32      vmemmap_base-0x4
   48 c1 f8 06             sar    $0x6,%rax
   48 01 d8                add    %rbx,%rax
   48 c1 e0 06             shl    $0x6,%rax
   48 03 05 00 00 00 00    add    0x0(%rip),%rax
           R_X86_64_PC32      vmemmap_base-0x4

after:
   49 8b 45 70             mov    0x70(%r13),%rax
   48 63 c9                movslq %ecx,%rcx
   48 c1 eb 0c             shr    $0xc,%rbx
   48 c1 e3 06             shl    $0x6,%rbx
   48 03 1c c8             add    (%rax,%rcx,8),%rbx
