The patch titled
Subject: mtrr, x86: remove a wrong address check in __mtrr_type_lookup()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mtrr-x86-remove-a-wrong-address-check-in-__mtrr_type_lookup.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com>
Subject: mtrr, x86: remove a wrong address check in __mtrr_type_lookup()
__mtrr_type_lookup() checks MTRR fixed ranges when mtrr_state.have_fixed
is set and start is less than 0x100000. However, the 'else if (start <
0x1000000)' in the code checks with a wrong address as it has an
extra-zero in the address. The code still runs correctly as this check is
meaningless, though.
This patch replaces the wrong address check with 'else' with no condition.
