The patch titled
Char: moxa, remove unused allocated page
has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is

See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Char: moxa, remove unused allocated page
From: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@xxxxxxxxx>
moxaXmitBuff is almost unused -- only one byte from the whole PAGE_SIZE bytes
is used. Do not alloc so much space for almost anything. Also remove lock
protecting this page allocation.
