The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: actually mark kernel page table pages
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-actually-mark-kernel-page-table-pages.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch

Subject: mm: actually mark kernel page table pages
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 16:26:29 +0800
Now that the API is in place, mark kernel page table pages just after they
are allocated. Unmark them just before they are freed.
Note: Unconditionally clearing the 'kernel' marking (via
ptdesc_clear_kernel()) would be functionally identical to what is here.
But having the if() makes it logically clear that this function can be
used for kernel and non-kernel page tables.
