The patch titled
     Subject: mm: improve comment on page->mapping
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-improve-comment-on-page-mapping.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com>
Subject: mm: improve comment on page->mapping

The comment on page->mapping is terse, and out of date (it does not
mention the possibility of PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE).  Instead, point the
interested reader to page-flags.h where there is a much better comment.
