Subject: [PATCH 0/2] bpf/umd possible deadcode

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <linux@...blig.org>

Hi,
  I'm not 100% sure about these, since I'm not quite
sure how to test it properly.

  As far as I can tell the UMD isn't needed by bpf itself
any more; so I've got one patch that just removes that select.
But then that leaves no users of umd itself; and I split that
separately since I saw there was still some discussion this year
on other uses.

Signed-off-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <linux@...blig.org>
