I think what happened is (the patch attached to the "removed from -mm"
mail looks like this):
- patch-v2 merged into -mm
- patch-v1 merged into -mm as part of xen series
- merge conflict, the bits which are in patch-v1 got removed
from patch-v2 to solve that, both patches in -mm
- patch-v1 got removed with other xen bits due to the conflict
with zachs patches.
- mm kernel has an incomplete patch-v2 now => boom.
So it isn't a problem with the original patch, it just got corrupted
during conflict resolving.
cheers,
Gerd
