Remove pmdisk from kernel

Hi!

This removes pmdisk from kernel. Nobody maintains it and swsusp
provides same functionality (and more, pmdisk is actually fork of
swsusp code).

3 files need to be removed by hand, I did not want to obscure patch by
removing them like that (and you probably have slightly different
pmdisk.c, anyway).

rm arch/i386/power/pmdisk.S
rm kernel/power/disk.c
rm kernel/power/pmdisk.c

Pavel

PS: Alternatively, I'm wiling to kill swsusp, rename pmdisk to "swap
suspend", and submit patches to fix it. Its going to be slightly more
complicated, through...

For more information take a look at Documentation/power/swsusp.txt.

-config PM_DISK
- bool "Suspend-to-Disk Support"
- depends on PM && SWAP
- ---help---
- Suspend-to-disk is a power management state in which the contents
- of memory are stored on disk and the entire system is shut down or
- put into a low-power state (e.g. ACPI S4). When the computer is
- turned back on, the stored image is loaded from disk and execution
- resumes from where it left off before suspending.
-
- This config option enables the core infrastructure necessary to
- perform the suspend and resume transition.
-
- Currently, this suspend-to-disk implementation is based on a forked
- version of the swsusp code base. As such, it's still experimental,
- and still relies on CONFIG_SWAP.
-
- More information can be found in Documentation/power/.
-
- If unsure, Say N.
-
-config PM_DISK_PARTITION
- string "Default resume partition"
- depends on PM_DISK
- default ""
- ---help---
- The default resume partition is the partition that the pmdisk suspend-
- to-disk implementation will look for a suspended disk image.
-
- The partition specified here will be different for almost every user.
- It should be a valid swap partition (at least for now) that is turned
- on before suspending.
-
- The partition specified can be overridden by specifying:
-
- pmdisk=/dev/<other device>
-
- which will set the resume partition to the device specified.
-
- One may also do:
-
- pmdisk=off
-
- to inform the kernel not to perform a resume transition.
-
- Note there is currently not a way to specify which device to save the
- suspended image to. It will simply pick the first available swap
- device.
