The patch titled
Subject: arc: update comment about HIGHMEM implementation
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
arc-update-comment-about-highmem-implementation.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com>
Subject: arc: update comment about HIGHMEM implementation
Arc does not use DISCONTIGMEM to implement high memory, update the comment
describing how high memory works to reflect this.

/*

* Even with PAE, the huge peripheral space hole would waste a lot of

- * Thus HIGHMEM on ARC is imlemented with DISCONTIGMEM.

- * DISCONTIGMEM in turns requires multiple nodes. node 0 above is
- * populated with normal memory zone while node 1 only has highmem
+ * mem with single contiguous mem_map[].
+ * Thus when HIGHMEM on ARC is enabled the memory map corresponding
+ * to the hole is freed and ARC specific version of pfn_valid()
+ * handles the hole in the memory map.
