The patch titled
     Subject: mm: fix ambiguous comments for better code readability
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-fix-ambiguous-comments-for-better-code-readability.patch

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

Subject: mm: fix ambiguous comments for better code readability

The parameter of remap_pfn_range() @pfn passed from the caller is actually
a page-frame number converted by corresponding physical address of kernel
memory, the original comment is ambiguous that may mislead the users.

Meanwhile, there is an ambiguous typo "VMM" in the comment of
vm_area_struct.  So fixing them will make the code more readable.
