Which makes all but patch #4 *very* easy to review.
All they do is remove code.  Unless that breaks a
build, those removals have a hard time making any
trouble.  ;)

And Linux now builds without all those warnings, yes?

Plus from a code complexity perspective, it's even
better ... it removes 100% of the high level confusion
associated with that legacy model, and the bugs and
fragility caused by that.  (Or maybe I should say
that it *finishes* removing that.)

Glad to see this.  I presume this will sit in -next
for a while and merge in 2.6.31-early?
