The patch titled x86_64: sync up probe_roms() with i386 has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was x86_64-sync-up-probe_roms-with-i386.patch This patch was dropped because it is obsolete ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: x86_64: sync up probe_roms() with i386 From: Rene Herman <rene.herman@xxxxxxxxx> Sync up with i386. Specifically, be careful about touching the legacy ROMs; in virtualized environments they may not be mapped.
