    If this doesn't build, and no one is using it anymore, I agree, it
    should be removed. If someone wants to revive it, 'git revert' works
    just fine.

    You can put my:

    Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

    on these patches, unless someone steps up to be the active maintainer of
    the arch and gets it building/working again.

    thanks,
