The patch titled
is_vmalloc_addr(): Check if an address is within the vmalloc boundaries
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
is_vmalloc_addr-check-if-an-address-is-within-the-vmalloc-boundaries.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: is_vmalloc_addr(): Check if an address is within the vmalloc boundaries
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>
Checking if an address is a vmalloc address is done in a couple of places.
Define a common version in mm.h and replace the other checks.
Again the include structures suck. The definition of VMALLOC_START and
VMALLOC_END is not available in vmalloc.h since highmem.c cannot be included
there.
