The patch titled
     Subject: mm/page_alloc: track range of active PCP lists during bulk free
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-page_alloc-track-range-of-active-pcp-lists-during-bulk-free.patch

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

Subject: mm/page_alloc: track range of active PCP lists during bulk free

free_pcppages_bulk() frees pages in a round-robin fashion.  Originally,
this was dealing only with migratetypes but storing high-order pages means
that there can be many more empty lists that are uselessly checked.  Track
the minimum and maximum active pindex to reduce the search space.
