The patch titled
     handle recursive calls to bust_spinlocks()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     handle-recursive-calls-to-bust_spinlocks.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: handle recursive calls to bust_spinlocks()
From: "Jan Beulich" <jbeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>

Various architectures may call bust_spinlocks() recursively; the function
itself, however, doesn't appear to be meant to be called in this manner. 
Nevertheless, this doesn't appear to be a problem as long as
bust_spinlocks(0) doesn't get called twice in a row (otherwise,
unblank_screen() may enter the scheduler).  However, at least on i386 die()
has been capable of returning (and on other architectures this should
really be that way, too) when notify_die() returns NOTIFY_STOP.

Short of getting a reply to a respective query, this patch makes
bust_spinlocks() increment/decrement oops_in_progress, and wake klogd only
when the count drops back to zero.
