The quilt patch titled
Subject: crash_core: export vmemmap when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
crash_core-export-vmemmap-when-config_sparsemem_vmemmap-is-enabled.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: crash_core: export vmemmap when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled
Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2024 09:49:52 +0800
In memory_model.h, if CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is configed, kernel will
use vmemmap to do the __pfn_to_page/page_to_pfn, and kernel will not use
the "classic sparse" to do the __pfn_to_page/page_to_pfn.
So export the vmemmap when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is configed. This
makes the user applications (crash, etc) get faster
pfn_to_page/page_to_pfn operations too.
