The patch titled
     x86_64: remove duplicated code for reading control registers
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     x86_64-remove-duplicated-code-for-reading-control-registers.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: x86_64: remove duplicated code for reading control registers
From: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@xxxxxxxxxx>

In x86_64, the same functions for reading cr3 and writing cr{3,4} are
defined in tlbflush.h and system.h, whith just a name change.  The only
difference is the clobbering of memory, which seems a safe, and even needed
change for the write_cr4.  This patch removes the duplicate.  write_cr3()
is moved to system.h for consistency.
