[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: block: update comment of "struct bio_vec" regarding nth_page()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     block-update-comment-of-struct-bio_vec-regarding-nth_page.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: block: update comment of "struct bio_vec" regarding nth_page()

Ever since commit 858c708d9efb ("block: move the bi_size update out of
__bio_try_merge_page"), page_is_mergeable() no longer exists, and the
logic in bvec_try_merge_page() is now a simple page pointer comparison.
