Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Revert "x86 idle APM: deprecate CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE" to prepare for actual removal

From: Len Brown <len.brown@...el.com>

Remove warning that perplex users about removal of CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE in 2012.
This allows applying the original removal patch cleanly.

In retrospect, adding this warning was a mistake.
We should have shipped the removal patch 16 months ago.
