     Add kerneldoc documentation for new printk format extensions
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     add-kerneldoc-documentation-for-new-printk-format-extensions.patch

Subject: Add kerneldoc documentation for new printk format extensions
From: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>

Add documentation in kerneldoc for new printk format extensions

This patch documents the new %pS/%pF options in printk in kernel doc.

Hope I didn't miss any other extension.
