[PATCH -rc6] [resend] Documentation/ABI: devfs is not obsolete, but removed!

["jens m. noedler" <noedler@web.de>]

Hi everybody, Greg, Linus,

This little patch just moves the devfs entry from ABI/obsolete to
ABI/removed and adds the comment, that devfs was removed in 2.6.18.

The patch was first send on 3. Sep 2006 to the LKML but nobody picked
it up, so here is the second chance. :-) 

The patch is against linus' current git tree and it would be nice to 
see it in the final 2.6.18 kernel.

Kind regards, Jens
