[merged] kexec-move-locking-into-do_kexec_load.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: kexec: move locking into do_kexec_load
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kexec-move-locking-into-do_kexec_load.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Subject: kexec: move locking into do_kexec_load

Patch series "compat: remove compat_alloc_user_space", v5.

Going through compat_alloc_user_space() to convert indirect system call
arguments tends to add complexity compared to handling the native and
compat logic in the same code.


This patch (of 6):

The locking is the same between the native and compat version of
sys_kexec_load(), so it can be done in the common implementation to reduce
duplication.
