The patch titled
Subject: mm: hugetlb: add a kernel parameter hugetlb_free_vmemmap
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-hugetlb-add-a-kernel-parameter-hugetlb_free_vmemmap.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Muchun Song <songmuchun@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: hugetlb: add a kernel parameter hugetlb_free_vmemmap
Add a kernel parameter hugetlb_free_vmemmap to enable the feature of
freeing unused vmemmap pages associated with each hugetlb page on boot.
We disable PMD mapping of vmemmap pages for x86-64 arch when this feature
is enabled. Because vmemmap_remap_free() depends on vmemmap being base
page mapped.
