Thanks for your patch!

You're welcome.

I didn't know that is a requirement;  one of the advantages of Linux
is that you never need to reboot ;-)

Funny. I was just using it as an example of how incomplete the support is.

Seems like you missed https://github.com/geertu/m68k-bootinfo...

I'm not sure how that happened, given that I checked every page of
GitHub code search results. Maybe they had never indexed the repo.
Would you like me to send a new version with the UAPI header and
constants retained?

Apart from dnfb, this only removes code under arch/m68k/.
Is any of the removed code blocking further development for you?

No, but it's better if the kernel doesn't carry around this unusable
code for no reason. People have to touch it when they make tree-wide
or architecture-wide changes, which just wastes their time.
