[PATCH] vmcoreinfo: add kallsyms_num_syms symbol

[Stephen Brennan]

Hi Andrew,

I just wanted to check on the status of this. I got your email about it 
being added to mm-hotfixes-unstable, and I do still see it in the quilt 
patches set:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/vmcoreinfo-add-kallsyms_num_syms-symbol.patch

I see the patch in mm-everything-2022-08-15-02-47 but it seems to have 
dropped out in mm-everything-2022-08-17-20-59 and later tags. As a 
result, it no longer shows up in linux-next.

Please excuse me if I'm ignorant of part of your process here, I know 
you handle a huge volume of patches!

Thanks,
Stephen
