[akpm]

The patch titled

has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     bitmap_parse-support-all-semantics.patch

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

Subject: bitmap_parse: support 'all' semantics

RCU code supports an 'all' group as a special case when parsing rcu_nocbs
parameter.  This patch moves the 'all' support to the core bitmap_parse
code, so that all bitmap users can enjoy this extension.

Moving 'all' parsing to a bitmap_parse level, also allows users to pass
patterns together with 'all' in regular group:pattern format
