kernel-parameters.txt still documents ten boot parameters whose parsing
code was removed with the drivers or platforms that used them, one of
them (atarimouse=) since before the git history. One patch per
parameter, each with a Fixes: tag for the commit that removed the
parser, so the maintainers of that area are on their own patch only;
the two pata_legacy module parameters share the last one. Each entry
was checked with git grep for its __setup(), early_param() and
module_param() handler and with git log -S for the removing commit.
These all look good to me,

If you have a script that you can easily run on another tree,
could you send me the script or the output for this one?

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc.git/log/?h=board-remove

I'm removing a bunch of code there, and if that ends up removing
additional documented paramenters, I'd like to fold the Documentation
update into the respective patches as well.
