[patch 3/3] mm: remove nopage

From: Nick Piggin
Date: Tue Jan 08 2008 - 04:41:19 EST


Patch against 2.6.24-rc6-mm1... nothing in your tree appears to use nopage.
This patch should transfer without rejects upstream, so it shouldn't be too
difficult.

Would be nice to get in 2.6.25 if we can.

mm: remove nopage

Nothing in the tree uses nopage any more. Remove support for it in the
core mm code and documentation (and a few stray references to it in comments).
