has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was

Subject: pagemap: update BUDDY flag documentation
Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2025 22:19:20 +0100

Since v4.6 the BUDDY flag is set for _all_ pages in the block
and no longer just for the first one.
This change was introduced by:
commit 832fc1de01ae ("/proc/kpageflags: return KPF_BUDDY for "tail" buddy pages")

Strictly speaking, this was an ABI change, but as nobody has noticed
since 2016, let's just update the documentation.
