  • These serial drivers were removed in kernel v3.1, so we can drop their
    documentation files and references to their magic numbers and
    parameters.

    There are still references to these old drivers in
    Documentation/devices.txt but I'm afraid they can't be removed.

  • The original suggestion to delete wanrouter started earlier
    with the mainline commit f0d1b3c2bcc5de8a17af5f2274f7fcde8292b5fc
    ("net/wanrouter: Deprecate and schedule for removal") in May 2012.

    More importantly, Dan Carpenter found[1] that the driver had a
    fundamental breakage introduced back in 2008, with commit
    7be6065b39c3 ("netdevice wanrouter: Convert directly reference of
    netdev->priv"). So we know with certainty that the code hasn't been
    used by anyone willing to at least take the effort to send an e-mail
    report of breakage for at least 4 years.

    This commit does a decouple of the wanrouter subsystem, by going
    after the Makefile/Kconfig and similar files, so that these mainline
    files that we are keeping do not have the big wanrouter file/driver
    deletion commit tied into their history.

    Once this commit is in place, we then can remove the obsolete cyclomx
    drivers and similar that have a dependency on CONFIG_WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS.

  • Change all "arch/i386" to "arch/x86" in Documentaion/,
    since the directory has changed.

    Also update the files which have changed their filename
    in the meantime accordingly.

  • The SUN_AURORA driver:
    - has been marked as BROKEN for more than two years and
    - is still marked as BROKEN.

    Drivers that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seem to be
    unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future.

    But if anyone wants to ever revive this driver, the code is still
    present in the older kernel releases.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
