- uml-speed-up-exec.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     uml: speed up exec
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     uml-speed-up-exec.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: uml: speed up exec
From: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com>

flush_thread doesn't need to do a full page table walk in order to clear the
address space.  It knows what the end result needs to be, so it can call unmap
directly.

This results in a 10-20% speedup in an exec from bash.
