The patch titled
     Subject: x86: make 'mem=' option work for efi platform
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     x86-make-mem=-option-to-work-for-efi-platform.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

------------------------------------------------------
From: Wen Congyang <wency@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: x86: make 'mem=' option work for efi platform

Current mem boot option only can work for non efi environments.  If the
user specifies add_efi_memmap, it cannot work for efi environment.

In the efi environment, we call e820_add_region() to add the memory map. 
So we can modify __e820_add_region() and the mem boot option can work for
an efi environment.
