Sure, and I think rocker and staging/octeon also have this unnecessary 
code also.

Thanks. I assume Greg - the staging maintainer - would take the octeon 
patch.

I think that the best thing to do is get a minimal set in for 6.9 and 
then merge the rest in the next cycle. I've got about 22 patches in 
total now, but I think that there will be more. We'll see who can pick 
up the first set when I send it officially.

Thanks,
John
