Subject: is CONFIG_APUS sufficiently deceased to be removed?


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

    [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?

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