[GIT PULL] x86 old platform removal for v3.15

[H. Peter Anvin]

Hi Linus,

This patchset removes support for several completely obsolete
platforms, where the maintainers either have completely vanished or
acked the removal.  For some of them it is questionable if there even
exists functional specimens of the hardware.

The following changes since commit dc9788f40a769d967de3eb5a7aee8c1a70094d32:

  x86/apic: Always define nox2apic and define it as initdata (2014-02-09 15:15:11 +0100)

are available in the git repository at:

No April fools in NUMAQ -- I gave it my Acked-by some time back.  ;-)

But yes, I don't know of anyone still running recent Linux on one of
those 15-year-old NUMAQ boxes, which by today's standards are old, slow,
and power-hungry.

							Thanx, Paul
