The following set of patches removes the use and existence of 
asm/segment.h from the architecture ports that it was fairly trivial to do 
so.  I need to work with the arch maintainers on the following 
architectures since they use asm/segment.h heavily:

m32r
um
frv
h8300
i386
m68knommu
m68k
v850
x86_64

If any arch maintainers want to go a head kill asm/segment.h in that last 
I would be very appreciative.

Thanks

Agreed.  The sequence should be to send patches to get rid of
all "#include <asm/segment.h>" references.

Once they have all gone, then a patch can remove the files.

If you are concerned that people would start adding new
references and you don't want to get into a game of whack-a-mole,
then you could add #warning "include of deprecated asm/segment.h",
but that might be overkill.

I'll apply this for ia64 w/o the deletion.

This is now in my test tree.  I will send to Linus soon after
2.6.13 is released.

Good.  After that gets I applied I will delete include/asm-ia64/segment.h
