The patch titled
x86: implement pte_special
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
x86-implement-pte_special.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: x86: implement pte_special
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxx>
Implement the pte_special bit for x86. This is required to support
lockless get_user_pages, because we need to know whether or not we can
refcount a particular page given only its pte (and no vma).
