is CONFIG_APUS sufficiently deceased to be removed?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  since a couple relatively recent commits show support for APUS being
ripped out of powerpc:

commit e6b6e3ffb9ee8926f9f2f7dc9147df73e27d5828
Author: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org>

    [POWERPC] Remove APUS support from arch/ppc

    Current status of APUS:
    - arch/powerpc/: removed in 2.6.23
    - arch/ppc/: marked BROKEN since 2 years

    This therefore removes the remaining parts of APUS support from
    arch/ppc, include/asm-ppc, arch/powerpc and include/asm-powerpc.

    [POWERPC] Remove the dregs of APUS support from arch/powerpc

    APUS (the Amiga Power-Up System) is not supported under arch/powerpc
    and it's unlikely it ever will be.  Therefore, this patch removes the
    fragments of APUS support code from arch/powerpc which have been
    copied from arch/ppc.

    A few APUS references are left in asm-powerpc in .h files which are
    still used from arch/ppc.

is it safe to assume that references to that non-existent Kconfig
variable can be tossed?

sound/oss/dmasound/dmasound_paula.c:#ifdef CONFIG_APUS    [well, i'd ignore this one]

  and i'm guessing this can be nullified as well, yes?  no?

arch/m68k/amiga/chipram.c:#ifndef CONFIG_APUS_FAST_EXCEPT

ok.  shortly, i'm going to once again unleash my script for finding
dead things in the source tree, but i'll post the results on my web
site and interested parties can go peruse if they wish.
