Hmmm... Found this in Next/merge.log

+$ git am -3 ../patches/0001-x86-idle-mwait_idle-merge-update.patch
+Applying: idle: kill unnecessary mwait_idle() resched IPIs
+$ git reset HEAD^
+Unstaged changes after reset:
+M arch/x86/include/asm/processor.h
+M arch/x86/kernel/process.c

Is this a local patch not shipped in the Linux-next (remote) GIT repo?
