I'd rather just remove the file entirely, as it doesn't work, probably
will never work, and all the relevant people who could have made it work
have left HP and so no longer have access to the documentation. I'll
commit a patch removing it from the kernel for the next merge window.

Nice work Arnd, it's great to see the BKL finally gasping its last
breaths. :)
