Commit d1a6f4f19728d6e90480e53601a90fc9f6a348ad
"block: delete super ancient PC-XT driver for 1980's hardware"
deleted the XD disk driver, but there are still a few
references to it in the documentation directory. Delete
the remnants and thus also free up the major block device
13 for reuse.

Maybe rather than just blanking out the entry, you could instead
leave a short note saying that it was previously used for the
obsolete XT disk and removed in kernel version 3.9
