The patch titled

has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     x86-fix-csum_ipv6_magic-asm-memory-clobber.patch

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

Subject: x86: fix csum_ipv6_magic asm memory clobber
From: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org>

Just like ip_fast_csum, the assembly snippet in csum_ipv6_magic needs a
memory clobber, as it is only passed the address of the buffer, not a
memory reference to the buffer itself.

This caused failures in Hurd's pfinetv4 when we tried to compile it with
gcc-4.3 (bogus checksums).
