other potentially deletable, dead stuff

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@mindspring.com>]

  and while len is working on detaching APM and ACPI from legacy power
management, here's the short list of other stuff that is listed as on
its way to being dead, based on the contents of Kconfig files.  any of
this stuff candidates for removal, if not scheduling for removal?

  (note:  i made no effort to cull this list of entries that i know
folks are already aware of or might be working on, or stuff that we've
already established is *not* really obsolete.  it's just a list.)


config NET_CLS_POLICE
        bool "Traffic Policing (obsolete)"

config IP_NF_CONNTRACK_SUPPORT
        bool "Layer 3 Dependent Connection tracking (OBSOLETE)"

config IP6_NF_QUEUE
        tristate "IP6 Userspace queueing via NETLINK (OBSOLETE)"

config IP_NF_QUEUE
        tristate "IP Userspace queueing via NETLINK (OBSOLETE)"

config ARPD
        bool "IP: ARP daemon support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
        ...
        This code is experimental and also obsolete...

config BRIDGE_EBT_ULOG
        tristate "ebt: ulog support (OBSOLETE)"

config PCMCIA_IOCTL
        bool "PCMCIA control ioctl (obsolete)"

        tristate "Traffic Shaper (OBSOLETE)"

        tristate "Moxa SmartIO support (OBSOLETE)"

        tristate "RAW driver (/dev/raw/rawN) (OBSOLETE)"

config ISDN_I4L
        tristate "Old ISDN4Linux (obsolete)"

config MODE_TT
        bool "Tracing thread support (DEPRECATED)"
        ...
        This option controls whether tracing thread support is compiled
        into UML. This option is largely obsolete ...
