[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.
