H A DMakefilediff acc8dadc0b3f007e6e60da77feb2efe2a19c5cda Tue Apr 11 00:54:17 CDT 2006 Joern Engel <joern@wohnheim.fh-wedel.de> [PATCH] Remove blkmtd

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.
