[merged] maccess-allow-architectures-to-provide-kernel-probing-directly.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: maccess: allow architectures to provide kernel probing directly
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     maccess-allow-architectures-to-provide-kernel-probing-directly.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Subject: maccess: allow architectures to provide kernel probing directly

Provide alternative versions of probe_kernel_read, probe_kernel_write
and strncpy_from_kernel_unsafe that don't need set_fs magic, but instead
use arch hooks that are modelled after unsafe_{get,put}_user to access
kernel memory in an exception safe way.
