The patch titled
     Subject: tmpfs: disallow CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64 on alpha
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     tmpfs-disallow-config_tmpfs_inode64-on-alpha.patch

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

From: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com>
Subject: tmpfs: disallow CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64 on alpha

As with s390, alpha is a 64-bit architecture with a 32-bit ino_t.  With
CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64=y tmpfs mounts will get 64-bit inode numbers and
display "inode64" in the mount options, whereas passing "inode64" in the
mount options will fail.  This leads to erroneous behaviours such as this:

 # mkdir mnt
 # mount -t tmpfs nodev mnt
 # mount -o remount,rw mnt
 mount: /home/ubuntu/mnt: mount point not mounted or bad option.

Prevent CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64 from being selected on alpha.
