[patch] 2.4.1-pre11 remove pcmcia compatibility from Makefile

[Keith Owens]

The _modinst_post_pcmcia target was added to Makefile in 2.4.0-test6-pre3,
August 5 2000.  It was a compatibility aid until people upgraded to a
version of pcmcia-cs that used modprobe instead of insmod.  Five months
later, it is time to remove _modinst_post_pcmcia.

Linus, please apply at any convenient time, no hurry.

Ping-Pong, the lists are dead?

[John Anthony Kazos Jr.]

I haven't received any emails from any vger lists since Jan. 29. Do they
still work? Would anyone who gets this message please email
"programmer@vt.edu" to let me know if my message gets to the list? I have
to figure out why I can't see anything *from* the list...
