[akpm]

The patch titled
     knfsd: SUNRPC: fix up svc_create_socket() to take a sockaddr struct + length
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     knfsd-sunrpc-fix-up-svc_create_socket-to-take-a-sockaddr-struct-length.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: knfsd: SUNRPC: fix up svc_create_socket() to take a sockaddr struct + length
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

Replace existing svc_create_socket() API to allow callers to pass addresses
larger than a sockaddr_in.
