None of these were picked up by the existing build system, they were all detected by kbuild 2.5. This is one of the advantages of having a build system that knows about everything.

Sounds like kbuild 2.5 is more a feature bloated Big Brother Build System.
The serial stuff has moved in the -rmk tree, and the above drivers/char is no longer relevant. Removing it and the other ARM serial drivers in drivers/char would make the -rmk patches smaller. 8)
The keyboard driver for the Linkup Systems L7200 stuff was never merged. People keep talking about fixing that, but seems that no one has the information to write such a thing, and Steven Hill (iirc) has since moved onto greater things. I believe people do use Linux on L720x without the keyboard driver though!
However, since the ARM community is mostly centred around embedded stuff, it is impossible to judge the size or use of any part of the ARM Linux kernel. It's also gradually sliding towards a completely closed, non- sharing development community.

My bad. Can be deleted.

It should bite as soon as someone tries to compile a kernel with EISA support. If it doesn't, that really needs fixing.

I never seen that come to be. Geert any ideas on this? Since we are switching to the new api then the iplan stuff will be replaced eventually. Do we just remove it in this case.

Support for 16 bpp interleaved bitplanes on Atari has never been implemented. You can remove it.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
