- add-epoll-compat-code-to-kernel-compatc.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     add epoll compat code to kernel/compat.c
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     add-epoll-compat-code-to-kernel-compatc.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: add epoll compat code to kernel/compat.c
From: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org>

Add epoll compat_ code to kernel/compat.c.  IA64 and ARM-OABI are currently
using their own version of epoll compat_ code and they could probably wire to
the new common code.

Unfortunately, sys_epoll_pwait needs two compat versions, one for sigset_t
only, and one for sigset_t+epoll_event.

Architectures that do not require epoll_event translation [1] whould wire
compat_sys_epoll_pwait, while the ones that do require it, should wire
compat_sys_epoll_pwait2.

Architectures that do not require epoll_event translation, should *not* wire
neither compat_sys_epoll_ctl nor compat_sys_epoll_wait.  Patch over 2.6.20.


[1] An architecture needs epoll_event translation is alignof(u64) in 32 
    bits mode is 4, *and* alignof(u64) in 64 bits mode is 8.
