Subject: [PATCH] obsolete config in kernel source (FB_SOFT_CURSOR)

Hi all!

	As part of the VAMOS[0] research project at the University of
Erlangen we're checking referential integrity between kernel KConfig
options and in-code Conditional blocks.

	While probably not strictly a integrity violation (as
FB_SOFT_CURSOR can still be set as it is once mentioned in a KConfig
select statement this looks like a left-over of
c465e05a03209651078b95686158648fd7ed84c5

	Please keep me informed of this patch getting confirmed /
merged so we can keep track of it.

Regards

	Christoph Egger
