 NB as I point out in the cover letter I made sure there's been no change 
to binary code produced, so I expect no fallout, and as we discussed with 
Jakub the removal of the driver broke `git blame' anyway, so there should 
be no cost associated with the cleanup.  

Can 'we' make sure that the commit that re-instates it has the git tag of the
old version in the commit message.
That lets people go back across the remove-add.  

 It has all the usual `git revert' stuff.  Have you anything else in mind?

Not sure :-)
But you were suggesting it would break 'blame'.
I know a 'delete' then 'add' gives serious grief.
