[PATCH] x86: Remove a.out support
From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Thu Jan 13 2022 - 11:01:12 EST
From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>
Commit
eac616557050 ("x86: Deprecate a.out support")
deprecated a.out support with the promise to remove it a couple of
releases later. That commit landed in v5.1.
Now it is more than a couple of releases later, no one has complained so
remove it.
