From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

This configuration option is for the older boot method that preceeded
ATAGS. This was scheduled for removal back in 2001, but the removal
never happened, presumably because nobody cared enough to actually do it,
not because there are any users left.

Add "(DEPRECATED)' to the Kconfig line and update the timeline so we can
remove it next year along with the other options that are not scheduled
for that timeframe.
