The patch titled x86: multi-byte single instruction NOPs has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was x86-multi-byte-single-instruction-nops.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: x86: multi-byte single instruction NOPs From: "Jan Beulich" <jbeulich@xxxxxxxxxx> Add support for and use the multi-byte NOPs recently documented to be available on all PentiumPro and later processors.
