- synclink_gt-add-rx-dma-buffer-fill-level-control.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     synclink_gt: add rx DMA buffer fill level control
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     synclink_gt-add-rx-dma-buffer-fill-level-control.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: synclink_gt: add rx DMA buffer fill level control
From: Paul Fulghum <paulkf@microgate.com>

Add run time control for receive DMA buffer fill level to allow
application to control receive latency when using stream oriented serial
protocols that pass receive data to application only after a DMA buffer
fills.  This was previously a compile time option, but run time control is
needed when application changes data rate (and latency requirements) or
uses different data rates on different ports.
