[Patch] x86: remove i386/x86_64 bzImage symlinks

From: WANG Cong
Date: Thu Aug 18 2011 - 01:21:02 EST


These symlinks are unnecessary and scheduled to be removed
for a long time.

I test this patch on Fedora, nothing breaks, but I am not
sure about other distros.

-When: April 2010

-Why: The i386/x86_64 merge provides a symlink to the old bzImage
- location so not yet updated user space tools, e.g. package
- scripts, do not break.

What: GPIO autorequest on gpio_direction_{input,output}() in gpiolib
