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

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.

	According to my search CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_PERVASIVE is not
defined in any 2.4-2.6 kernel (not #define d and not in
KConfig). However some tiny piece of code still checks it. If this is
really a leftover (as I expect) it might be a good idea to actually
remove that unreachable bit of code.

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

Regards

	Christoph Egger
