- x86-implement-pte_special.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     x86: implement pte_special
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     x86-implement-pte_special.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: x86: implement pte_special
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>

Implement the pte_special bit for x86.  This is required to support
lockless get_user_pages, because we need to know whether or not we can
refcount a particular page given only its pte (and no vma).
