That symbol is, needless to say, an OLPC thing; it's in their
repository. I do think they plan to upstream all of that at some
point, but I think they're a little busy at the moment.

Deleting this code will increase the delta between the OLPC and
mainline trees. My preference would be for that not to happen. If it
does, though, life will obviously go on, and this code can be restored
when the rest is upstreamed. If you must do that, though, could I ask
that you preserve the CONFIG_OLPC_XO_1 version of the code, which is
the version which has traditionally been in the mainline?
