The patch titled
powerpc: minor fault path optimization
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
powerpc-minor-fault-path-optimization.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: powerpc: minor fault path optimization
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Call the kprobes pagefault handler directly instead of going through
the complex notifier chain.
