[merged mm-stable] arch-mm-make-releasing-of-memory-to-page-allocator-more-explicit.patch removed from -mm tree

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

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: arch, mm: make releasing of memory to page allocator more explicit
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     arch-mm-make-releasing-of-memory-to-page-allocator-more-explicit.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

Subject: arch, mm: make releasing of memory to page allocator more explicit
Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2025 15:50:03 +0200

The point where the memory is released from memblock to the buddy
allocator is hidden inside arch-specific mem_init()s and the call to
memblock_free_all() is needlessly duplicated in every artiste cure and
after introduction of arch_mm_preinit() hook, mem_init() implementation on
many architecture only contains the call to memblock_free_all().

Pull memblock_free_all() call into mm_core_init() and drop mem_init() on
relevant architectures to make it more explicit where the free memory is
released from memblock to the buddy allocator and to reduce code
duplication in architecture specific code.
