Jens, Please pull the following to get the removal of the original IBM PC-XT hard disk driver from the block layer (drivers/block/xd.c).
As near as I can tell, it hasn't seen a run time fix in over a dozen years, and with drive sizes of 10-20MB, and performance of about 128kB/s maximum, it is no surprise that it has been completely unused for well over a decade. The removal was originally posted[1] well over a month ago, and since then, there has been nobody objecting to the removal, aside from someone who had mistakenly confused it with a completely different driver (hd.c) I've done a test merge followed by an allmodconfig/allyesconfig for x86-64 on the "for-next" branch of: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux-block.git to ensure that there was no Makefile/Kconfig fallout since the 3.8-rc2 the original commit was created and tested on.
