Thanks for your Acked-by, but this patch has been added to the -mm tree. 
  Its filename is
    mm-drop-useless-local-parameters-of-__register_one_node.patch

This patch should soon appear at
 
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-drop-useless-local-parameters-of-__register_one_node.patch
and later at
 
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-drop-useless-local-parameters-of-__register_one_node.patch

I don't know what should I do next ? :)

Thanks,
	dou.
