The patch titled
frv: Specify the minimum slab/kmalloc alignment
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
frv-specify-the-minimum-slab-kmalloc-alignment.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: frv: Specify the minimum slab/kmalloc alignment
From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>
Specify the minimum slab/kmalloc alignment to be 8 bytes. This fixes a
crash when SLOB is selected as the memory allocator. The FRV arch needs
this so that it can use the load- and store-double instructions without
faulting. By default SLOB sets the minimum to be 4 bytes.
We need to use literal constants here as slab evaluates these within cpp.
