Hi, Arnd,

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.
Only netwinder_defconfig selects this option. Do the most recent
NetWinder firmware versions actually need it? (LinusW, do you know
this?) If not, can't we just drop it entirely?
