[GIT PULL] Delete MCA support
From: Paul Gortmaker
Date: Tue May 22 2012 - 18:05:35 EST
Linus,
Aside from adding some Acked-by lines, these four commits to delete
the MCA support remain unchanged since last week's RFC.
DaveM requested the MCA net driver deletion for net-next independently,
so that net-next commit (which you already have) became the baseline
for my "delete-mca" branch, and remains so for this pull.
A test merge against today's tree was seamless and automatic.
My original text from the 0/5 RFC is below, should you want to use it
as part of a merge commit description:
---------
It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
realistically, nobody is using them anymore. They were limited to
386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than 64MB
of RAM. Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have dried up
close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching various
websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.
So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point
carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on
git grep'ping over it, and so on.
---------
Please pull the below to finalize the MCA removal for v3.5.
Thanks,
Paul
