[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] vfio/spapr: Remove stale ioctl() call

[David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>]

This ioctl() call to VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_REMOVE was left over from an
earlier version of the code and has since been folded into
vfio_spapr_remove_window().

It wasn't caught because although the argument structure has been removed,
the libc function remove() means this didn't trigger a compile failure.
The ioctl() was also almost certain to fail silently and harmlessly with
the bogus argument, so this wasn't caught in testing.

Alexey, I've already put this tentatively into ppc-for-2.7, but I'd
appreciate an ack before I send my next pull request.
