Cool. If someone is willing to pick one up and maintain this fairly trivial amount of code we can resurrect it; given that the code had been broken for several releases seem to indicate noone really cares.
(Also note that the removal will not prevent the kernel from actually running on these chips; in fact, it might actually make them work.)
