The patch titled
     Subject: KVM: s390: prepare for hugepage vmalloc
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kvm-s390-prepare-for-hugepage-vmalloc.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
From: Claudio Imbrenda <imbrenda@linux.ibm.com>
Subject: KVM: s390: prepare for hugepage vmalloc

The Create Secure Configuration Ultravisor Call does not support using
large pages for the virtual memory area.  This is a hardware limitation.

This patch replaces the vzalloc call with an almost equivalent call to the
newly introduced vmalloc_no_huge function, which guarantees that only
small pages will be used for the backing.

The new call will not clear the allocated memory, but that has never been
an actual requirement.
