The following set of patches removes the use and existence of

You've broken various things by doing this because some driver code
rightly or wrongly uses segment.h. That is fine because they shouldn't
do so. However asm/segment.h isn't supoosed to be removed on
architectures that use segments- like x86, and x86-64. There it is a
real arch private file and shouldn't be disappearing.
It shouldn't be leaking into drivers any more (eg mxser.c is an
offender
there)
Ok, so it sounds like my patch to remove drivers from include asm/
segment.h is fine, and we will leave it up to the various arch
maintainers to decide if they want to keep asm/segment.h for arch
specific usage.
