Subject: Remove CONFIG_H8 in 2.5?
CONFIG_H8 in drivers/char/ depend in both 2.4 and 2.5 on CONFIG_OBSOLETE.
Since CONFIG_OBSOLETE is never set it is not selectable.
Is there any reason why this driver should stay in the kernel or would you accept a patch that removes this driver?

Since this issue is still present in current 2.6 kernels, I'd suggest the following:
rm drivers/char/h8.c
rm drivers/char/h8.h
