The patch titled
Subject: kconfig: update compression algorithm info
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kconfig-update-compression-algorithm-info.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/

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kconfig: update compression algorithm info
There have been new compression algorithms added without updating nearby
relevant descriptive text that refers to (a) the number of compression
algorithms and (b) the most recent one. Fix these inconsistencies.
