I have applied this to my netdev-2.6 tree, and so it should show up in
-mm sometime.

While obviously I don't object (we should list removed things along
with kernel version somewhere, though)... I could possibly port
the drivers to my generic HDLC code, if someone sends me the hardware
in question. Sure, I will never send it back, and it has to have V.35
or V.24 interface, so I can connect it to something.

Then, *bang*, it's gone :)

We can resurrect if someone appears with hardware, and cares enough to 
bring the driver back to life...  Older kernels are archived on the 
Internet forever, after all :)
