The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: teach mincore_hugetlb about pte markers has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-teach-mincore_hugetlb-about-pte-markers.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

By checking huge_pte_none(), we incorrectly classify PTE markers as "present". Instead, check huge_pte_none_mostly(), classifying PTE markers the same as if the PTE were completely blank.
PTE markers, unlike other kinds of swap entries, don't reference any physical page and don't indicate that a physical page was mapped previously. As such, treat them as non-present for the sake of mincore().
