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

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: MAINTAINERS: fix regex pattern in CORE MM category

The pattern "include/linux/page[-_]*" matches every file that starts with
"page", because it's a regex and not a glob (so it has the meaning of
include/linux/page + match [-_] 0+ times).
Fix it up into a more regex-correct expression. Doing so reduces CC's
drastically in patches that touch pagemap.h (which is maintained as part
of PAGE CACHE).
As a side-effect, move linux/pageblock-flags.h explicitly under PAGE
ALLOCATOR.
