The patch titled
     uml: improve detection of host cmov
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     uml-improve-detection-of-host-cmov.patch

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

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: uml: improve detection of host cmov
From: Karol Swietlicki <magotari@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch introduces a new way of checking for the cmov instruction.  I use
signal handling instead of reading /proc/cpuinfo.

[ jdike - Fiddled the asm to make it obvious that it didn't mess with
any in-use registers and made test_for_host_cmov void ]
