Subject: [PATCH] Obsolete config in kernel source (BEFS_RW)

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.

	The BEFS filesystem Code has a check for CONFIG_BEFS_RW which
seems to have no counterpart in linux KConfig in git's history. Maybe
you want to remove the check and always assume it would fail (as is
done with the attached patch).

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

Regards

	Christoph Egger
