This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: zsmalloc: Fix link error on ARM
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-next branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: zsmalloc: Fix link error on ARM
Testing the arm chromebook config against the upstream
kernel produces a linker error for the zsmalloc module from
staging. The symbol flush_tlb_kernel_range is not available
there. Fix this by removing the reimplementation of
unmap_kernel_range in the zsmalloc module and using the
function directly. The unmap_kernel_range function is not
usable by modules, so also disallow building the driver as a
module for now.
