[merged mm-stable] mm-introduce-pfnmap_track-and-pfnmap_untrack-and-use-them-for-memremap.patch removed from -mm tree

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

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: introduce pfnmap_track() and pfnmap_untrack() and use them for memremap
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-introduce-pfnmap_track-and-pfnmap_untrack-and-use-them-for-memremap.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: introduce pfnmap_track() and pfnmap_untrack() and use them for memremap
Date: Mon, 12 May 2025 14:34:16 +0200

Let's provide variants of track_pfn_remap() and untrack_pfn() that won't
mess with VMAs, and replace the usage in mm/memremap.c.

Add some documentation.
