[merged mm-stable] mm-kconfig-move-swap-and-slab-config-options-to-the-mm-section.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: Kconfig: move swap and slab config options to the MM section
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-kconfig-move-swap-and-slab-config-options-to-the-mm-section.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

------------------------------------------------------
From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>
Subject: mm: Kconfig: move swap and slab config options to the MM section

These are currently under General Setup. MM seems like a better fit.
