The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: remove obsolete pgd_offset_gate()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-remove-obsolete-pgd_offset_gate.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: mm: remove obsolete pgd_offset_gate()
Date: Fri, 9 May 2025 14:32:30 +0800
Remove pgd_offset_gate() completely and simply make the single caller use
pgd_offset().
It appears that the gate area resides in the kernel-mapped segment
exclusively on IA64. Therefore, removing pgd_offset_k is safe since IA64
is now obsolete.
