Subject: [PATCH] remove usedac in feature-removal-schedule.txt

The reason of removal, "replaced by allowdac and no dac combination"
is incorrect. There is no way to do the same thing with "allowdac" and
"nodac" combination.

The usedac option enables us to stop via_no_dac() setting forbid_dac
to 1. That is, someone who uses VIA bridges can use DAC with this
option even if some of VIA bridges seem to be broken about DAC.
