Cover letter [patch 2.6.14-rc4 0/3] sk98lin: neuter and prepare for removal

These patches take steps towards removing sk98lin from the upstream kernel.

-- Remove sk98lin's MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE to avoid confusing userland tools about which driver to load;

-- Mark sk98lin as Obsolete in the MAINTAINERS file; and,

-- Add sk98lin to the feature-removal-schedule.txt file in the Documentation directory.

I accept the possibility that I may be jumping the gun on this. However, I think it is worth opening this discussion.
