There are still a few drivers that include asm/segment.h, so

Agreed. The sequence should be to send patches to get rid of
all "#include <asm/segment.h>" references.

Once they have all gone, then a patch can remove the files.

If you are concerned that people would start adding new
references and you don't want to get into a game of whack-a-mole,
then you could add #warning "include of deprecated asm/segment.h",
but that might be overkill.

I'll apply this for ia64 w/o the deletion.

I've posted a patch before this to remove all non-architecture users of asm/segment.h.
