The patch titled
nommu: ignore mmap() address param as it is a hint
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
nommu-ignore-mmap-address-param-as-it-is-a-hint.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: nommu: ignore mmap() address param as it is a hint
From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>
Ignore the address parameter given to NOMMU mmap() as it is a hint, rather
than giving an error if it's non-zero. MAP_FIXED still gets an error.
