The patch titled
Subject: SGI-XP: handle non-fatal traps
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
sgi-xp-handle-non-fatal-traps.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Robin Holt <holt@xxxxxxx>
Subject: SGI-XP: handle non-fatal traps
We found a user code which was raising a divide-by-zero trap. That trap
would lead to XPC connections between system-partitions being torn down
due to the die_chain notifier callouts it received.
This also revealed a different issue where multiple callers into
xpc_die_deactivate() would all attempt to do the disconnect in parallel
which would sometimes lock up but often overwhelm the console on very
large machines as each would print at least one line of output at the end
of the deactivate.
I reviewed all the users of the die_chain notifier and changed the code to
ignore the notifier callouts for reasons which will not actually lead to a
system to continue on to call die().
