The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/bootmem_info: remove handling for !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-bootmem_info-remove-handling-for-config_sparsemem_vmemmap.patch

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

Subject: mm/bootmem_info: remove handling for !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 23:13:39 +0100

It is not immediately obvious that CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE is only
selected from CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, which itself depends on
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG that ...  depends on CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

Let's remove the !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP leftovers that are dead code.
