    [PATCH] Remove blkmtd · acc8dadc
    Joern Engel authored
    Remove the blkmtd driver.
    
    - An alternative exists (block2mtd) that hasn't had  bug report for > 1 year.
    
    - Most embedded people tend to use ancient kernels with custom patches from
      mtd cvs and elsewhere, so the 1 year warning period neither helps nor hurts
      them too much.
    
    - It's in the way of klibc.  The problems caused by pulling blkmtd support
      are fairly low, while the problems caused by delaying klibc can be fairly
      substantial.  At best, this would be a severe burden on hpa's time.
