[PATCH] i2o: remove new configuration API
Remove new configuration API from i2o_config
The API-patch is still available from the I2O website (which is mentioned in
the kernel config now). It is removed because it creates a new binary
sysfs-attribute, which doesn't have the limitiation of 4k. Expect for the
Adaptec controllers, which has a limitation in the hardware this attribute
doesn't make sense anywhere else. Until the sysfs API provides an attribute
which doesn't buffer (like firmware) and let access to at least 64k blocks i
provide a separate patch...
(akpm: basically, this API was introduced post-2.6.12 and Markus wants to pull
it out before 2.6.13).
