The patch titled
Subject: llist: return whether list is empty before adding in llist_add
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
llist-return-whether-list-is-empty-before-adding-in-llist_add.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: llist: return whether list is empty before adding in llist_add
This is needed by irq_work. And because list_add_xxx functions are
inline, this can be optimized out if not needed by callers.
