The patch titled
     CONFIG_BOUNCE to avoid useless inclusion of bounce buffer logic
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     define-config_bounce-to-avoid-useless-inclusion-of-bounce-buffer.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: CONFIG_BOUNCE to avoid useless inclusion of bounce buffer logic
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>

The bounce buffer logic is included on systems that do not need it.  If a
system does not have zones like ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM that can lead to
the use of bounce buffers then there is no need to reserve memory pools etc
etc.  This is true f.e.  for SGI Altix.

Also nicifies the Makefile and gets rid of the tricky "and" there.
