[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     Subject: lib: make bitmap_parse_user a wrapper on bitmap_parse
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     lib-make-bitmap_parse_user-a-wrapper-on-bitmap_parse.patch

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

Subject: lib: make bitmap_parse_user a wrapper on bitmap_parse

Currently we parse user data byte after byte which leads to
overcomplicating of parsing algorithm.  There are no performance critical
users of bitmap_parse_user(), and so we can duplicate user data to kernel
buffer and simply call bitmap_parselist().  This rework lets us unify and
simplify bitmap_parse() and bitmap_parse_user(), which is done in the
following patch.
