Well, we aren't not really accustomed to obsoleting a driver yet ;)
My original intend was just that (keep it in 2.4 and delete it in 2.5) but now, working sungem has been around 2.4 for quite some time and new machines aren't properly suported by it etc...
The printk big bold warning on driver load may be the best option for 2.4
