If we remove code from the LinuxBIOS tree bases on this criteria then we
end up dropping half the tree.  This is not something unique to the OLPC 
and GX.

Case in point. The 440bx stuff.  Its long since dead. V1 even. But guess 
what?  Its currently the only reference we have for a working 440bx 
Linuxbios setup and currently getting heavily reviewed to make the V2 work.

Don't make working with the tree any harder than it already is. If we 
drop code then for someone to go look at the olpc stuff they will have 
to figure out what revision of the tree had the olpc stuff and check 
that out.

Lets concentrate on working on the code rather than just increasing our 
admin load.
