The patch titled
pci: remove unneeded lock_kernel() in drivers/pci/syscall.c.
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
pci-remove-unneeded-lock_kernel-in-drivers-pci-syscallc.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: pci: remove unneeded lock_kernel() in drivers/pci/syscall.c.
From: Diego Woitasen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
sys_pciconfig_{read,write}() are protected against PCI removal with the
reference count in struct pci_dev. The concurrency of
pci_user_{read,write}_config_* functions are already protected by pci_lock
in drivers/pci/access.c.
