Subject[PATCH 02/18] x86 idle floppy: deprecate disable_hlt()
Date
From: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Plan to remove floppy_disable_hlt in 2.6.40, an ancient
workaround with comments that it should be removed.

This allows us to remove clutter and a run-time branch
from the idle code.

WARN_ONCE() on invocation until it is removed.
