- kvm-vmx-add-vcpu_clear.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     KVM: VMX: add vcpu_clear()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kvm-vmx-add-vcpu_clear.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: KVM: VMX: add vcpu_clear()
From: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Like the inline code it replaces, this function decaches the vmcs from the cpu
it last executed on.  in addition:

 - vcpu_clear() works if the last cpu is also the cpu we're running on
 - it is faster on larger smps by virtue of using smp_call_function_single()

Includes fix from Ingo Molnar.
