Please consider the following wipe out candidates as well:
1. ftape <- it should really really go away 2. proprietary CD-ROM 3. xd.c (ridiculous isn't it?) 4. old ide driver... 5. old directory reading syscalls. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
